What Food Can You Give Piggies?

[SunnyAndViolet]

If anyone is wondering what food you can get piggies, you can give them a different assortment of food and vegetables. Don’t forget to give them pellets and hey as well. Sometimes if you do you see your guinea pig chewing on cardboard that is OK because they can digest wood-based items like wood, cardboard, etc. Plastic though, is not okay for guinea pigs because they cannot digest it properly like wood-based items.

Also, if anybody knows why my piggies are chewing on their own house (We got a plastic igloo for them) please tell me because I heard that guinea pigs cannot digest plastic. I don’t want anything to happen to my piggies so, is there a way to stop them from eating their plastic house?


This is my piggy’s chewed home.

Penny chews on her barn once in a while, so I was worried about that too. Take a look at this thread Is Plastic Bad For Guinea Pigs? . I hope it helps
