Veggies

[salembinx]

Just wondering I've had one of piggies for nearly a year, they eat so much veg a day breakfast dinner and tea then a big carrot tat bedtime ( my bedtime that is) as well as oodles of hay and pellets. Is it too much

Carrots should only be given once or twice a week, research has shown too much can cause liver problems (I think). In the past my old guinea pigs had them daily and came to no harm as wasn't the info there is now but better to air onside of caution with these things. Mine have breakfast usually something like spring greens then they have a mixed veggie bowl at night

Read so much stuff sometimes don't know what to believe, my new piggie Captain Jack used to eat cabbage all the time at the breeder I got him from,but I read it can give them bloat and tummy upset if they eat it all the time

As for carrots that's another conundrum

 

[Rodentopia]

spring greens are ok daily but other cabbages if fed too much could cause bloat, mine had small amounts of cabbage and no problem

Oh ok I know Murray hates spring greens, but give capt jack a bit then
