I'm considering getting two Guinea pigs. I'm returning to college in September and greatly desire a companion. I had 2 rats in the past but they both passed away tragically and I can't handle their short life span to get any more.
My only concern with owning Guinea pigs is their vegetable requirements. I as a person eat very few vegetables and rarely have some in the house, but I might be willing to buy some just for my piggies.
Through research I've read that they require "a variety" of vegetables. Meaning different ones every day or a mix of various vegetables per day? I would probably buy the vegetables and make a single mix and serve them from that. How many different veggies would have to be in that mix?
I still need to do a lot of personal assessment before adopting piggies, but this forum seems like a good place to get honest information!
