Ive had ollie a week tomorrow but he's still not eating his dry food, tried him on 2 different mix and pellets but he's not having any of it.
he eats most of his fruit and veg every day.
Doesnt seem to eat much hay either.
Ive just weighed him, he's 0.9kg or 900 gram
What should he weigh? he's 6 months old

Hi thats a good weight for starters but did you ask what food he was on before you got him ? I always ask before i get a piggy plus they normally give you a bag of food too, If you didnt ask them then id get back in touch with them if you can and just simply ask as they would know O0

Just keep giving him fresh fruit and fresh food each day

You could also just ring your vets and also ask for their advice too as its basically free ! ;D
The vet may want to check him over as their might be something wrong with his teeth as the reason why hes not eating normal food O0
 
Thanks for your reply

He was only at the vets on thursday night being checked over and his teeth are fine.
It was my sister in laws guinea pig she fed him on wilko's food which ive tried but he doesnt want to know it
Glad its a good weight will just keep an eye on him

Oh right - Glad his teeth are nice ! Maybe hes just getting used to his strange surroundings and noises etc then in his own time will eat but he may of had a quick nibble whilst you wasnt looking as i doubt you watch him 24/7 ;D
