I’m not even sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but how long does food take to pass through a guinea pig? I know with humans it’s generally about 6 - 8 hours or so, but what about guinea pigs? I mean, my temptation is to say about thirty five seconds 😂 but is there an actual answer?
 
I THINK it’s 1-2 days, can’t quite remember though.
 
24-48 hours.
What you see coming out today is actually a reflection of their consumption 1 - 2 days ago, so often by the time we notice less poops/small poops they haev already been off their food for a day or so.
 
Thank you very much everyone 🙂 so, not thirty five seconds then!
