Veggies for 3 piggies

[*Meg*]

Hello I’m currently trying to cut down on the amount I spend on veg & also putting them on a lower calcium diet as they are over 2 years old. We have very hard tap water in our area so I might buy bottled water.

But do you think this is enough veg for a week for 3 piggies? Anything you think I should take away etc?

That sounds like a lot for a week but then I don't really pay attention to how much I get through. Have you read the diet guides on the forum:
Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diets

You may also be better off looking at the option of a water filter rather than buying bottled water unless you have found a brand low in calcium

Also there is a guide to different edible fruits and vegetables to give a good mix. I find that if I offer one thing too regularly the piggies suddenly get fed up of it and refuse to eat it (with the exception of cucumber and bell pepper). I would be wary about feeding too much carrot too often to them as well give the high sugar content

Thankyou this is the water I am going to buy

That is roughly what I get through in a week. I do a cup full per pig, per day. (and the odd snack too)
