Adult Guinea Pig
Hi
I am a bit worried that I am not giving them enough of what I should. I feed my boys pets at home guinea pig pellets along with Burgess Excel fresh herbage with Timothy Hay Dandelion and Marigold. I give them a dish of chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped broccoli, grated carrot and celery. They also get some babyleaf herb salad which consists of spinach, baby red leaf, Mizuna, baby parsley and baby coriander. I tried them with this last night for the first time and they loved it. They love kale too but I don't give this on a daily basis. They don't seem to be so keen on fruit. I bought a whole sweetcorn and stripped off a couple of the dirty outside leaves and put that in the cage last night and they love the leaves and nibble away at the corn too.
We don't eat a lot of veggies/salads ourselves so anything we get is bought especially for the boys. It works out quite expensive. Would be great if there was a shop that sells wee bags of fresh guinea pig food to make it easy for us all :-)
Can you let tell me if they are getting enough or if I am giving anything I shouldn't? Is there something I could be giving that I'm not? Thanks for any advice.
