Veggies

[emo_d_88]

how much veg should my wee harold get a day?

dont know if I'm giving him too much

I usually give him little and often e.g. a handful of kale or leaves or carrot or broccoli maybe breakfast lunch dinner

but also if my wee girl is eating fruit (which she is constantly munching) she likes to share if she is eating strawberries she gives him a few of the tops (the wee green bit) or if its a plum, nectarine, apple etc she bites a bit off and gives him it

he has plenty hay and I scatter some nuggets in his cage which he has the odd wee nibble at

Diet wise piggies should be looking at 1 cup of veg per day per pig and diet should be 80% hay, 15% Veggies , 5% Nuggets

We split our portions into breakfast and tea and it would typically be this

AM
Cucumber
Celery
Slice of Pepper

PM
Cucumber
Coriander/parsley/lettuce/cabbage
Occasionally Carrot/beans/brocoli

How old is Harold if he is a baby they do eat less to begin with dependent on age I believe. When we had a mini Widget she had very small portions till around 12 weeks

Good question! I'm assuming 'a cup' is an American measurement, I use these cups for baking American recipes! But I'm not sure why we would use an American measurement!

No a mug is alot bigger. A cup is more like a tea cup size.

An American cup is 250ml, I just looked! British cups are slightly different, but I guess with feeding a guinea pig it doesn't matter! When baking it might!
