I don't know if a lot of you remember me. My guinea pig is doing really good...I love him to bits
Today I got him orchard grass because the petstore was out of timothy. He doesn't seem as gung-ho about it as he is the timothy hay. If he eats less of it, is that dangerous? How much nutrition does he actually get from the hay itself? I know he uses it to keep his teeth worn down and also to aid in digestion. He has unlimited hay and pellets (alfalfa based) all the time and he gets greens (lettuce - romaine, red leaf and green leaf) and a peice or two of carrot daily. Will he be ok eating orchard grass instead of timothy for a few weeks?
Also I know guinea pigs can digest paper, but he really likes to eat it. He loves fast food napkinds and toilet paper rolls with some toilet paper still left on. I try and make sure he has one or the other to play with all the time. Should I limit the amount of paper he's exposed to? How dangerous is it for him to eat paper and why is he eating it??
Thanks in advance!
