    My piggie absolutely LOVES mint, basil, parsley and cilantro. She snacks on all the leftover stems when we're cooking, as well at the leftover sweet pepper, strawberry tops, and celery leaves. I think her fave sweets are raisins and cranberries. I'll give her a couple dried ones, but are really loves watermelon, apples and grapes 💕

    Oh my goodness the piggies really love tomatoes, so cute. Thank you for a very informative video. Someone abandoned a little piggie and I found her in our yard/bushes. I named her Lil Amanda because she is so small and cute. I'm doing a Crash Course everything guinea pig right now. I appreciate you taking the time out to make this video, well done.

      We don't use the trolley and basket for feeding but they do look cute for photographs and video. You'd be best to go for a non-tip bowl like the Haypigs large food bowl amzn.to/3eHO3KJ or the smaller Haypigs bowl amzn.to/2YrGXnQ

      I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :) Pregnant piggies should continue with a healthy balanced guinea pig diet but they can also have alfalfa hay. Be careful not to make any sudden major changes to their diet though, so just add a bit of alfalfa gradually but mixed in with their normal hay.

      They should have about a cupful of veggies per piggy per day. It depends on the fruit/veggie but with fruit, we would only usually give 1 fruit a day and not even every day and that would be the size of about 3 blueberries. We would usually give at least 3 different veggies each day so a little of each and we tend to give more leafy veg and less of the other types of veggies.

    Why can the vegetable that is high in sugar be fed several times a week but not bell peppers and lettuce?

    • @GuineaPiggles
      @GuineaPiggles  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bell peppers and lettuce can be fed several times a week. Which other veggie did you mean that was high in sugar? What's really important is that they don't get fed any vegetable in large quantities - a good variety of different veggies and vary it as much each day as possible :)

    • @GuineaPiggles
      @GuineaPiggles  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Watermelon seeds aren't safe for guinea pigs so remove these before feeding watermelon to your piggies. Just a very small chunk of watermelon is advisable as too much will give them diarrhoea. And don't feed too often as any fruit should be regarded as an occasional treat for your piggies :)

      Lettuce, lattuce, lattuce...

    Is It bad that I feed my guinea pig carrot,cucumber, and spinach everyday?

    • @GuineaPiggles
      @GuineaPiggles  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Carrot and cucumber every day are ok but only if you feed small amounts and mixed in with leafy green veg. But spinach is very high in oxalates and can lead to bladder stones if fed too often so only feed this occasionally. Kale, romaine lettuce and dandelion leaves are much better for them as regular foods. In the description you'll find a link to our safe fruit and veg sheets which you an buy on Etsy :)
