Hi All

I am just wondering what food your piggies seem to like the best and ideally what is the best thing to feed our beloved furry friends?

hi

Dotty an Millys favs are peppers,spinach,corn on the cob an theygo crazy for curly parsley,if you look on the food link there is a big list of what they can an cant have.
 
Willow absolutely loved bananas and blueberries! She didn't get them very often, but they were defiantly her favorites!
 
Cucumber parsley and mini corn cob thingys are his faves but really he just loves food in general LOL
 
Skittle had a severe addiction to sugarsnaps :)), Tarquin would cuddle his tomatoes x) but the girls go mental for little gem lettuce rolleyes !
 
My Reggie loves tomatoes, red apples, cucumber, carrots and his favourite is lettuce gem :) x
 
J and Spike both adore parsley and carrot tops, whereas Smudge's favourite food is pretty much anything that he can eat :))
 
2 fussy piggies here, but they'll eat most things if I only give it once, try to get them to eat the same thing more than about once in a week and they turn their noses up at it! Otherwise, lettuce, raddichio, cucumber (no, they're off that at the moment), beetroot leaves and the root, If only I could get them to eat all the stuff I don't like in the veg box.
The absolute favourite, always eaten is grass and dandelions.
 
I gave Reggie a bowl of stuff last night including stuff like carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce gem and tried him with celery he ate every but the celery and had only taken a small bite out of it lol!
 
Hi

I feed my piggies on burgess excel guinea pig food with blackcurrant and oregano which they seem to really enjoy.

They are currently going mad for timothy hay and are getting through a full rack in a day.

Veg wise they love carrot tops, apple, broccoli and adore basil.
 
corriander rules

Corriander is the girls absolute fave - followed closely by melon skin - any type of melon skin - then peppers cucumber spinach carrot tops and dandys:)):))

I've given mine melon - well actually they stole it off my plate rolleyes but never given them melon with the skin will have to try that one

I love trying them with new things, even if they don't like it.

I know a lot of people who's piggies love bananas but mine weren't overly fussed
 
At the moment my girls faves are spinach, curly kale and parsley. But they do like to challenge me by changing their minds about things! They've enjoyed cucumber, apple, pear, carrot but recently leave them behind. They don't like broccoli at all. Of course they also go wheek crazy for grass and dandelions :))

My guinea pigs can devour the lawn in a day - saves getting the lawnmower out :))
 
curly kale. fullstop for both of my little pairs they cant get enough of it:)
 
Mine are just crazy for herbs, and they are completely spoilt so get at least one type in every meal. Mainly coriander, parsley, basil and mint, they can't get enough!
 
pebble and smudge like lettuce and rocket and dont really like pepper or carrot. then cinder loves bannana, strawberrys, parsely. patches fave is lettuce.

I thought beetroot leaves were poisonous for piggies because of the high amount of folic acid! ?/

I googled it the other day because I had a big bunch of beetroot.

Mine love corn on the cob and carrot, and Tommy loves coriander and basil. There is a lot I haven't tried them on yet though as they are quite new! :)
 
Red Thia Curry and a bottle of red....oh no wait thats me....

My babies love cucumber, I go through 2 every 2 days I'm not kidding, they also love spinach, peppers and cabbage.

I'm going to try them on tomatos tonight and see what they do, never tried them before but I wonder if they ever get bored of the same veg although by the evidence of the bowl, I would say not :))
 
Corriander and Parsley I think - I've never seen them eat anything quicker and they always seem a lot more vocal when those two come into their treat rotation!

They never really turn their nose up at anything though! Only problem is that now I find myself planning our weekly meals around what the pigs can eat as well!
 
I'd have to go with fresh herbs too - parsley, coriander and dill being amongst the most favourite.
