I just want to vent out here. One of my guinea pigs, Dobby, has always been fussy but at the moment it's on a whole new level - he has been refusing bell peppper, cucumber and lettuce! I know they can go off veggies sometimes but I feel I am running out of options to give
Here's a photo of (I believe) one of the fussiest pigs ever
Normal, thankfully. He does have other veggies but I'd rather him eat those 3 mainlyHow are his poops? Sometimes they go very crumbly if they aren't eating veggies
I may try the mixed bag of salad if he continues to refuse the lettuce this week. Thank you.

I know right. Please DobbyOh Dobby please stop causing stress you need to eat your veggies
Coriander? No waaaayyyyyy.... haha they do keep us on our toes for sure. I feel I am a chef at this point. I have now come up with 2 weekly menus in the hope they don't get bored of the same veggies againI do find my piggies go off food …atm they hate green pepper and coriander
They are eating red and yellow pepper
He is.. they all are! Guinea pigs are soooo cuteNaughty Dobby, stop being a fusspot! Even if you are a cute fusspot
You are luccckkkyyyyyy. To be fair one would eat everything, it's Dobby who's really fussy. They say sometimes they do take after their human slaves and i am very fussy with food myself.Fussy piggies amuse me so much. My girls would annihilate the entire fridge AND pantry if they could!
Hahahaha mine did eat rubber once omg the panic it has caused me!
Minerva likes exotic foodsMine have gnawed on the radiators.
Minerva has also eaten the soles of my shoes and slippers.
I've also taken a shoelace off Minerva and regularly have to detach her from my charger (she fights to have that in her mouth!) and all other cables.
I'm starting to think she has problems.
they also complain if it's any other food for first veggies of the day. They throw tantrums over lettuce and cucumber for breakfast but love it at any other point of the day.
My lot won't eat pepper unless it's the first veggies of the day. Any other time and they look at me like I've lost the plot
If I could ask them one question, it's why that makes sense to them. All four of them. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.
I give their veggies 2x a day but now I am thinking to give it just in the evening. They have their pellets (2tbsp only of course lol) in the morning too so i am thinking maybe they are already a bit full from it. Do you give yours 2x a day too?

Omg yesssssssss almost same. So much personality in those little bodiesExactly!
Our Winnie used to let the veg drop to her feet, look at it, and then look up at you as if to say ‘Are you joking?’, waiting for something better. And if you held out something in your had that wasn’t quite what she was hoping for, she’d sniff your hand and nudge you, certain that if she kept on doing this, something better would appear.
When Mabel decided she was too good to eat the stems of gem lettuce, she’d take a nibble of the green bit, then drop the stem in my hand, then tweak my sleeve with her teeth for another leaf.
Not spoiled at all…
they deserve it. Their cuteness pays off with usI feed pellets in the am and veggies at tea time and a herb for supper
Spoilt ? …..no never
Have you tried fennel, parsley, celery, carrots and cilantro? My boy Theo won't eat anything else, except Romaine lettuce. I have dedicated my whole deck container garden to his culinary preferences.

it's just a shame because those daily ones are the ones he refuses! Lol
Is he still eating his pellets? If not, could there be a dental problem?They are on all of those on rotation.
