Whats The Best Food To Make A Guinea Pig Gain Weight?

[kezah12]

I have a few young females about 6 months old that i rescued they could do with putting on weight so far they are not really pitting on weight is there any food that could help them to gain weight.

I think as long as they are eating ok (no dental issues) and have no underlying health concerns, then they will eventually put on weight.
If they have unlimited hay, some pellets, and regular fresh food, they will get heavier.
Good luck with your rescue girls.

My vet recommends pear and apple as lower in sugar than banana - but not too much apple as it can cause some pigs to get a scabby lip.

Feeding a balanced diet should be enough for them to gain weight- this is the healthiest and safest way to achieve this.

If they arent steadily gaining weight over time, or lose weight, please have them see a vet.
