    Made the mistake of giving my piggies spinach every few days, 3-4 pieces to each. The pet store told me it was a great daily snack. I should have known to take pet store employee's advice with a grain of salt. Thanks for all the great tips!

    I think the Cabbage debate also comes from the fact that cabbages are gassy and can cause bloat in guinea pigs.
    I also noticed they enjoy eating corn husk during the summer which is a good snack that's high in fiber and low in sugar
    Thank you for the informative video!

They need varied diet, so u really need to start increasing the variety of veggies in your piggies diet, so starta introduce other vegetables in your pigs diet, like endive, escarole, chicory, radiccio, swiss chard, collard greens, kale (dinossaur or common) dandelion greens, parsley, celery, green leaf, red leaf, butterhead, oak leaf lettuce, etc.

      I've heard this myth many times.. It's same with bell pepper seeds. They are not a chocking hazard eighter. This myth seems to just circulate around the guinea pig community.. My guess is that older guinea pigs might have a harder time dealing with them..

      They do that at the start. I recommend putting the houses in each corner tightly. Or even putting Velcro on your fleece and Velcro is to the ground of the cage. Idk if that'll help but that the best advice I can give.

    Ginny pig Vegas
    Bell peppers any color.
    Green Power Mix: This one is great for healthy guinea pigs and is geared more towards younger guinea pigs.
    1 outer leaf of green leaf lettuce
    3 to 4 strands of parsley
    ¼ slice of green pepper
    .
    Rainbow Mix: This is great all-rounder with colorful veggies! If you have a guinea pig with a bit of sweet tooth, they will love this!
    ½ of baby carrot
    1 stick of chopped celery
    ¼ slice of yellow bell pepper
    Urinary Health Mix: This one is great for adult guinea pigs. Especially great for guinea pigs with previous history of UTI or stone.
    1 quarter of cucumber
    1 outer leaf red lettuce (or more than 1 inner leaf to match the size)
    ¼ slice of red bell pepper
    Info
    Red leaf and green leaf lettuce
    Please I should take up to 85 to 90% of a ginny pigs diet can be feed once a day, feed them a few leafy greens per Ginny
    #2 Cucumber can be a staple and can be added with most meals high in watter low in Other nutrients good for hot days!
    #3 bell peppers great source for vitamin C, green and yellow bell papper can be feed day , because they are low in sugar content
    Red and orange are higher in sugar so be aware.
    1/6 to 1/8 of a bell pepper and
    day
    #4 Zucchini is a great source for vitamin C and can be alsmot feed daily and a good amount of Calcium for healthy bones a bit of less then half a cup sould do it per day
    #5 calary can be feed 1 to 2 times a week not to much it can lead to track stones in bladder and pee. Make sure to cut it up into small half inch so they dont choke, one stock is enough for one ginny
    #6 Carrots should only be said in moderation though Guinea pigs love them they are high in vitamin sand sugar can be feed a few times a week one or 2 baby carrots per Ginny

      Would not recommend having Guinea pigs in your bedroom as they are messy and loud. They could wake you up during the night as they only sleep in small intervals. Other than that though, its generally fine; and best if having them in your bedroom will provide them with the most space:)
