I’m looking for a forage for my 14 piggies . I want something in bulk,that is cheap and healthy. I have looked at piggies parcels but unfortunately it’s way too expensive to buy for all my guinea pigs. Does anyone know a good forage ?
 
Have you tried making your own? @teddymouse picks loads of dandelions and drys them over her washing line in the summer. I am sure some other members will have their own ways of doing things too.
 
I have 38 piggies, and if weather is kind to us,l forage 3 to 4 time a week ,collecting abinbag at a time, grass,clove,dandelion, silver Fren,cloves sweet nettles, milk thistles, Corngrass,,young rape, yarrow,Plaintion,long and round leafs ,groudsel, plus many more. Never pick from foot paths ,bridle ways, gateways ,posts, or any were folks walk their dogs, or wild animals make their patch.

I do pick my own but because I live in England the weather hasn’t been very good. I used to use pellets when I only had six piggies but someof my pigs don’t like them. Is there a website ?
 
I have no idea about websites, l never use them. I'm shore others can help you there. I live in Dorset on the south coast.

Where do you pick yours from?
 
Dried forage I buy in bulk from norfolk-feeds off ebay, the 1kg bags are very good value.

I only use piggie parcels, unfortunately :( I don't know any other company that sells it. What you could do is maybe hide veggies around their enclosure? Or by certain things separate?
