@mszoomy 5 лет назад

@@jackiel6272 romaine is fine, regular iceberg lettuce is bad because it's mostly water and very little nutrients. Please check out guinelynx.com for a very comprehensive food list. You need veggies with low calcium (causes stones) and low oxalic acid (causes bloat) but high vitamin C. Their charts will lists these as well as a few other nutrients for every vegetable and fruit imaginable. They also explain the dietary requirements

A tip for all piggy owners,Get some seed trays , fill with compost , put some grass seed in and wait for it to grow. When piggies can’t get out into garden for fresh grass, you have a supply that they can eat straight from the tray. I have 3 that I rotate as they eat and then let grow again . They love it

@rthatchet 4 года назад

I can only feed mine 2-4 times a week Their poo was getting too mushy and they actually had “diarrhea” once from daily lettuce and every other day carrots or bell pepper So now every 2 days, on cleaning day (I use fleece blankets from Walmart for 7$) I give them 2 big leaves of romaine and the next cleaning they get carrots, or bell pepper, or blueberries or cherry tomatoes

@rthatchet 4 года назад

Bara littlepig they have unlimited hay and pellets, one of them has lasted 9 years and is still going strong and happy with this method Romaine only, I don’t even feed green leaf and DEFINITELY not iceberg I’ll do something like a whole carrot and 2 big leaves of lettuce one day, then 2 Later give them half of a red bell pepper (which is super huge) But when I was giving them smaller portions (2 baby carrots, 1 huge leaf of lettuce, and maybe some cherry tomatoes or green bell pepper) every single day, their poo was way too soft and stinky Plus after I cut back they actually have an appetite for veggies I was giving them daily and they just stopped wanting them.-. Waited a few days and they scarved it down For my piggies at least, how often I give them veggies has worked great.

@angelbuilds8763 4 года назад

Cole Wagner you should tell your vets or do some research also feeding your guinea only that much is really bad if you can’t properly feed them get someone to help or give your guinea pig away

Angel Builds 24:7 pellets and hay is enough. Fruit and veggies are treats. I give them tons of fruit and veggies every 2 days. One is almost 8 years old so I’m pretty sure I’m doing a good job.

@CybilBennett66 3 года назад

I wish I had found this channel a long time ago. My high school science teacher had a class guinea pig... Well, guinea pigs, but never more than one at a time. My sister, then myself after she graduated, would take them home over holidays. Now that I've seen these videos, I just feel awful about the treatment they got. There were 4 different ones (that I recall) over the years, but they were all alone, kept in a wire cage all the time, never given baths... just all around not great. My sister and I gave them a lot of love and attention when we took them home, though. That much we did right... I remember one was a female who had long fur on her backside that would always get badly matted and I'd have to cut them off all the time. Mind you, this was 16+ years ago, so I didn't know any better, but I'm wishing I had. Those poor piggies never lasted very long. *:(* This channel is awesome and so informative I absolutely love it.

Sorry but you shouldn't do that. Too many pellets can lead to obesity and health problems caused by obesity. They will not be 'enjoying themselves' if they die from a young age or if they suffer with health problems for the rest of their short lives. Plus hay should make up the majority of their diet, then fresh veggies and then pellets.

@meeau 4 года назад

@@dianamendez4373 Some boars do well in groups of 3-4, but it's really hard to find personalities and ages that mix well. Since your piggies are the same age it's not a good idea to introduce more. They will already have competition between them deciding who's in charge/the strongest once puberty hits. I've had 9 boars, and only once had 3 together. Good luck with your piggies!

When my boys drink they actually will pull on the nozzle of the water bottle as a tendency and they can always eat a little something and are always hungry it is just a matter of degrees and they love grass, romain , parsley, spring mix, cucumber, pea flakes, celery especially the leaves but with things like banana they only want the dried chips and they frequently when giving the stuff like peppers or tomato look at me like what are you giving me this forand turn up their nose at it. When feeding them they actually will step out of the cage to be getting the food right out of my hand and they usually would climb un me to come and get petted and attention besides just the food. They always are extra happy when they get grass and nice salads made especially for small animals that have a lot of different things in them like dandelion, chrysanthemum, peppermint, oat and other grasses and things in them including the leaves too. I always use bottled or filtered water when giving them water because where we live the tap water is not the best so I never give them just tap water at all.

One thing to point out about foraging. People want to make sure stuff not sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals. Also glad you mentioned about water.

She is the only pig Ive ever had that never drinks so worries me but vet says she not dehydrated. Thanks! Always love your videos!

@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue 5 лет назад

Thank you sharing - 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

@Acidfunkish 5 лет назад

There's an easy test you can do, to check if they're dehydrated. If you pinch together the skin on any part of the body where the skin isn't tight (like, the scruff, piggy "love handles" area, etc.), it should bounce back to its original position almost IMMEDIATELY. If it takes a couple seconds to slowly revert, or it never does, and stays kind of in the same shape, your piggy is dehydrated. When you "pinch" the skin together, it shouldn't be hard, or painful, or even cause any discomfort, whatsoever. You just manipulate it like you would before you pick up a kitten by the scruff of its neck. Don't actually pick it up, though, haha. Fortunately, piggies don't get dehydrated as often as hamsters, for example. I don't think it's something you generally have to worry about. But just to ease your worries, in case you weren't sure, that's a test you can easily do with no discomfort to the piggy or yourself.

Saskia, not all of my furbabies are from my breeding mishap. Sadly I lost 7 of my furbabies from that mishap, along with their Daddy last year. Caramel was a gorgeous Abby. He was certainly a attention seeker too. I have Caramels' 3 sisters, who do not 'demand' attention as much as my Himi girl. I have my girls in 2 pens of 8 with a neutered boy and 2 boys in a pen each. My parents have the other 4 boys in 2 pens. My Dad LOVES his boys.

On days I haven’t had veggies, grass has indeed been a life saver XD of course it’s important to remember to not to pick grass with any kinds of pesticides/insecticides tho^

@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue 5 лет назад

Grass is better than veggies. It is the closest to their natural food as you can get. I love foraging!

@rac1equalsbestgame853 4 года назад

Cryptillian I like to take mine to neighbor's little window of low grass. He loves foraging. Especialy after it rains. I also sneak lettuce every once in a while. I have tried other foods, but he just isn't interested.

Thank you for this video. I’m always worrying about the amount of food I’m giving my babies. (I think I overfeed the veggies sometimes)

I love how you did this video. So I was wondering if you can make a video on what their poop is telling you. Like the color and how soft/hard it is. Says about the them??

Carol Almeida yeah there’s no way I could take them out in mine. I rent and I have no idea what all could be sprayed out there before we moved in.

Hi there....🌸 I'm curious is the "portion" that Saskia showed of the veggies....should that amount be given each day per pig? Thank you in advance!

When guinea pigs "pur" it doesn't mean they're happy, it actually means they are annoyed. They don't like it when you pet them up around the face like that- especially when they're eating.
