Teenage Guinea Pig
OK so my girls are Swiss which is known as a big breed. They are 2 years old and are still putting on weight!
Luna is 1214g and Ginny is 1476g. Their back ends feel quite boney to me, they both have a fat pad on the back of their neck and I can feel their ribs. Ginny has a big squishy belly, but I don't know where Luna hides her weight!
Surely they should of stopped growing by 2?
Luna has got me trained to feed her pea flakes at least 3 times a day, she has about 9 a day. Are pea flakes fattening? I know I'm too soft with their pellets, I tend to just top them up once the bowl is empty.
They eat plenty of hay and not too much veg, but they do have about an inch of carrot daily.
Do I need to cut down on anything, or are they just big hefty lumps like their mum?
Am I just fussing over nothing again? lol
