SHould my 2 cavies have a constant supply of food (pets at home nuggetts) or should they be fed a couple of times a day instead?

We do give them a bowl of fresh veg once a day.

Thanks :)
 
Fab, they currently have the dry food & hay always available so won't change anything :)

Thanks!
 
And water of course :)

Some don't like using a bottle - you can fill up a little bowl if necessary - but don't expect it to stay clean or upright for long ;D
 
We could not get the bottle to stop leaking so They have a dish of water now. We've found that by putting it on a platform made with playsticks we can keep it cleanish! They find it harder to mess it up than if it just stands on the floor of the cage!
 
Hi don't forget the fresh veggies and fruits, they just love them :-* :-*
Try everything bit by bit and be patient it does take time :) :)
Best of luck :)
 
Thanks, we're giving them one bowl a day with a variety of fruit & veggies in it to work out what they like best!
 
My piggies always have water,pellets and hay available and veggies are given twice a day ;)
 
When I first got my pigs I was told to only give them pellets and fresh food for half an hour twice a day and just keep a constant supply of hay. But personally I chose to keep the pellets in all day (mainly because I couldn't be bothered to go and get the bowl out of their hutch) and surprisingly they only actually eat their pellets twice a day...most of the time they just leave them alone.

So I would keep all their food in all day and ensure they get fresh food at least once during the day.
