Sadly we lost one of our baby boars, Sven was roughly 8-10weeks and managed to get a large chunk off of a Guineapig gnawing stone and got it stuck.
I tried my hardest to help him but I was too late.

He is the ginger/white in the middle

I removed each one from all 3 cages and informed the pet shop that I didn't think it was suitable to be selling it (not that they cared) instead they tried to SELL me a Guineapig It's completely put me off buying treats so apart from their salt licks & fruit sticks anything else is only given under supervision and not left in the cage when I'm not right there

I am so sorry for your tragic loss!

With a balanced diet, salt licks and mineral blocs are not necessary and are largely ignored. Please remove the stone asap.

All stones were removed as soon as it happened.
They have their nuggets, greens & hay everyday. And then peppermint grass, alfalfa, meadow hay cookies every so often with the odd treat (can't remember what they are called but they are little heart shapes)

Oh and a fruit stick once a week :)
