Hi
Can guinea pigs have unlimited access to twigs of apple and hazel?

Not sure about unlimited access. Mine have occasional apple twigs. Not tried hazel though. I have loads of hazel trees in my garden and would be interested to find out if they can have them. Here is my Rainbow Piggy Christian enjoying an apple twig.

Yes, hazel twigs (and leaves) are fine for them

Lovely, I have read that apple leaves should be just occasionally but I saw on another thread that apple, pear, willow and hazel twigs are fine. They were not interested in the willow twigs at all so trying something new!

Yes the twigs are fine, I personally wouldn’t give unlimited though.
and yes, apple leaves occasionally due to their calcium content t

Mine aren't interested in the twigs but some do like the willow balls.

Excellent thanks @Pound Shilling & Pig, I'll try them on hazel twigs then.

@Piggies&buns : how often should them have them please? I was thinking of tying one each to their run to gnaw on?
