What veggies do you feed your piggies?

[jmacka93]

I am wondering what everyone feeds their piggies every day. I want to give Penny and Luna a variety, and don't want to give them too much of one type. From what I've observed Luna loves carrots and cucumber and Penny loves cucumber and strawberries (I gave them one cut into 4).
Any suggestions on what I can feed them each day?
I'm writing my shopping list at the moment and going to Asda later.
Thank you in advance

Hi

Here's a great link to a sticky shopping list http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42 it says what you can and can't feed piggies.

Also here's a link to another thread http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=30297 detailing Calcium/phosphorus ratio's it's really useful as it details which food can be fed and at what frequency daily etc...

They are really good threads and I still use them now as a reference from time to time

mine all have a variety of small portions of each. normally it is romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, carrot, pepper (red yellow or orange - they don't like green) sweetcorn, cucumber, lazy leaf lettuce, herbs, occasionaly a strawberry, or anything that is reduced in asda that they can eat
then about 4pm they scream at me to fetch some grass. they haven't had many days where they have been able to go in their runs so i cut it for them. my neighbours must think i'm mad because if the grass is wet the shears wont cut it so i go armed up the garden with a big tray and a pair of scissors (even in the rain). the things we slaves do for these piggies

When I had my guineas I fed them a wide veriety of veggies and a fab plant called 'Milk Thistle' you can get it wild and look it up in a plant book always wash it thourghly before hand! It contains nutrience that is very benefficial for their diets! When I get my new ones I am definetly feeding them that also plus its free! I obviously used other veggies as I love to vary their diets as i'm sure most owners do and like others have said timothy hay is essential!:laluot_02:
