Pellets

[Eeworkowski]

How much pellets should I feed my guinea pigs each day. I give each of my guinea pig 2 tbsp every day

 

[Siikibam]

A tablespoon each per day. So two tablespoons.

Ok.thx they don’t eat all of them so I thought I was giving them to much. I’ll cut back

 

[Siikibam]

That’s fine. There’s someone on here who removes the pellets after 45mins or so. My lot eat them all in a sitting and I then remove the bowls.

 

[Eeworkowski]

Mine eat them all throughout the day and then in the morning they still have some left so I just throw it away

Are you sure you’re giving them a tablespoon each? I would put them in and give them time. What they don’t finish you can remove.

I give them 2 tablespoons each and the next morning after that they still have some left

That is too much. One tablespoon once per day. Remove the bowl after a certain amount of time (half an hour or so) whether they have finished all the pellets or not. They should ideally not have constant access to pellets. They are basically junk food for piggies and having too many pellets can stop them from eating enough hay
My two get one tablespoon of pellets each in the morning. After 45 mins, i take the bowls away (or pick up any uneaten pellets if I have scatter fed). They do not get more pellets until the following day

I know now that it is to much and will start giving them less. Thx for helping me
