Is Grass good for Guinea Pigs?
Guinea pigs love their greens. Mine get visibly excited when they see broccoli or spinach. But what about grass? Is it good for them?
Along with a good quality hay, a guinea pig will benefit from fresh grass as often as possible, ideally daily.
The domestic guinea pig’s wild ancestors were natural grazers feeding on wild grasses and herbs for long periods. The digestive system of a guinea pig has evolved to operate on a high-fibre diet. They need roughage to stay healthy.
Roughage should make up at least 75% of a guinea pig’s diet. Both hay and grass are excellent sources of roughage. Fresh grass is thus an excellent way to help a guinea pig keep their digestive system functioning properly.
In addition, a guinea pig must graze or chew on roughage in order to keep their teeth from growing too long or sharp. Letting a guinea pig graze on fresh grass and hay for several hours a day helps to prevent dental issues.
Guinea pigs should have hay or fresh grass available to them at all times.
Only feed grass that is fresh and from a known clean source.
Never feed your guinea pigs lawnmower clippings. Grass should be cut by hand.
The Farm at 64 raises money for the charity Porridge and Rice, an education charity supporting education in the slums of Nairobi, home to some of the poorest people in the world. They charity website is www.porridgeandrice.com/.
The Farm at 64 is not a business, just the name that my children have given to the many pets that I keep. The Farm at 64 website is www.thefarmat64.co.uk/.

Rabbits need places to hide to feel safe
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Rabbits are energetic and inquisitive animals that love to roam and explore. Zippy is no different - she wonders happily around on the patio and in the garden. But rabbits also need places to hide. Without hiding places, rabbits will not feel safe. Rabbits have remained relatively unchanged over the last 40 million years of their history. Their evolutionary history is that of a prey animal, con...
Pet Birds Need Protein
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
It has been estimated that 80-90% of pet bird diseases are related to an inadequate diet. Birds need protein to grow strong feathers for proper flight and effective insulation against the cold and wind. Feathers are over 90% protein, primarily keratins. It is not possible for a bird to get enough protein in healthy amounts or ways on a seed-only diet even though protein is present in seeds but ...
Crop Feeding Baby Budgies
มุมมอง 3.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Crop feeding has saved the lives of many young budgies whose parents are unable to feed them for one reason or another. It is a wonderful technique to learn for anyone breeding birds. The first, time can be a little confusing for the baby bird. The first baby budgie is a lutino and its mother died without warning. It needed to be crop fed to survive. A side benefit of crop feeding is that the b...
Bonding rabbits
มุมมอง 1.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Teddy and Peppa are bonded rabbits. It wasn’t always the case, in fact, when they first met there was a lot of conflict, in particular, Teddy was very aggressive towards Peppa. Placing two rabbits together that do not know each other, can lead to serious injury. Rabbits need to be introduced carefully and not left unattended until they show signs of bonding. The first signs of bonding usually s...
Sleeping Baby Dove

Fred hatched after most doves had finished breeding for the season. His parents decided to breed as a result of an unexpectedly warm week. He spends the day in the aviary when the sun is on it and keeping it warm where his parents fuss over him feeding him from time to time. He spends the nights indoors with me where it is warm because the evening temperature are too cold for him to survive. I ...
Guinea Pigs Grazing Grass
มุมมอง 2.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
My guinea pigs just love being able to run freely in their pen on the lawn, stopping occasionally to graze some fresh grass. Unfortunately, it has rained almost everyday for the past week so they have not been able to run in their pen. Finally, today the sun come out for a while and after the dried sufficiently, I was able to let them into their pen. They squeaked with delight, even popping fro...
Late Season Baby Diamond Dove

Diamond Doves are frequent breeders, breeding as often as they can based on available resources especially food and warmth. All it takes is a few warm days and a some tasty treats for a Diamond Dove hen to lay and hatch a brood. Even though the weather is getting colder, there were a few unexpected warm days at the beginning of October. The result of the warm weather is that I now have a baby d...
Should Guinea Pigs be kept indoors or outdoors?
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Guinea pigs can live happy, healthy lives both indoors and outdoors as long as the correct steps are taken. In both cases, they need a sheltered area where they can stay dry and warm. Guinea pigs are hardy, versatile little animals originating in the Andes in areas where the climate varies considerably. In the Andes, there are regions that are sometimes very hot and sometimes very cold, includi...
Are chinchillas good pets?
มุมมอง 1.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Every year, I am given chinchillas by people who have been disappointed by them as pets. The story is almost the same every time. People visit a pet shop falling in love with the cute fluffy animal they see sleeping on a shelf, take it home, and become progressively more frustrated when it bites, wants to sleep all day, and fights to get away when held. Chinchillas can be wonderful pets but the...
Do Rabbits need Toys?
มุมมอง 1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
To stay happy and healthy, rabbits need enrichment and opportunities to perform natural behaviours such as digging, jumping, chewing and chin rubbing. Toys are not the only way to provide both, but they are an excellent way to do so. Toys do not need to be expensive or fancy. Many rabbits will enjoy an empty box as much as they enjoy an expensive, store-bought toy. Rabbits are individuals with ...
Guinea Pig pups make cute noises
มุมมอง 1.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Guinea pigs talk almost non-stop using a range of different sounds. They don’t even stop when they are eating one of their favourite foods like fresh green grass. Each sound is distinct and conveys a specific message like ‘back off’ or an emotion like ‘happy’. Sounds include wheeking, chattering, chutting, rumbling, purring, and chirping. Not only are guinea pigs cute, but also their sounds. Th...
Budgies love to bathe
มุมมอง 1.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Budgies love to bathe. Some like to paddle and splash in shallow water and some like to hover under a light shower. When in water, a budgie will fluff up its feathers while is vibrates its wings. It does this to get the feathers wet and and to get water near to its skin. In still water, it will usually walk about, standing up and sitting down intermittently. A budgie should be given the chance ...
Budgies love hard-boiled egg and it is good for them
มุมมอง 2.8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Budgies need protein in their diet and hard-boiled egg is a really good source of protein for budgies. A seed only diet is unhealthy for a budgie, in fact, research shows that it can shorten the life of a bird. In addition, a seed only diet is very boring providing a bird with little variety in its life. In the wild, budgies eat seeds, plant matter, and insects, all of which are important to en...
Baby Diamond Dove asks to be fed
มุมมอง 1.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A baby Diamond Dove is known as a squab. A squab leaves the nest before it can feed itself. It doesn’t choose to leave the nest by choice but is forced to do so by its parents. The parents will simply stop feeding it, and sit nearby until it leaves. In effect, hunger forces it to leave the nest. When the little squab spots a parent, it starts to vibrate its wings. This is the equivalent in dove...
