| Re: good meal plan? You might want to cut back on the Broccoli also, it can cause gas. Feed 1-2x per week. |

| Re: good meal plan? I don't know if you have seen this list but it is very useful. It will give you the information you need for properly feeding your piggies. Try adding different veggies to your menu like squash/zuccini, asparagus, turnips, celery, etc. Don't be afraid to try something new....your piggies may thank you for it  http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...arts-info.html |

| Re: good meal plan? The reason I ask is because you are feeding parsley several times per week. When she turns 6 months old either cut back on the parsley to twice per week or even better, switch the parsley out for cilantro. Cilantro is low in calcium and can be fed daily. Some other things to throw in the mix a couple times per week would be cherry/grape tomatoes (1-2) or the equivalent of in regular or roma tomatoes and green beans (1-2). You can buy loose green beans at most grocers/markets this time of year and that means you can just buy 1/2 a dozen if you need to. |
