Pellets

Okay, so I got the veggies sorted but what about pellets? I have three pigs so how much should I give them. Right now I give them about 1/4 of a cup every morning and evening. They eat Supa Guinea Exel and get about 2 cups of veggies a day each.

Re: Pellets

They should each have 1/8 - 1/4 th of a cup of plain timothy based pellets (or alfalfa based if under 6 mths.) per day. I'm not sure about that brand, I've never heard of it, is it a plain pellet?

You should feed 1/8 cup of pellets per day per guinea pig.

Re: Pellets

Supa Guinea Excel is one of the better brands in the UK. Give them 1/8th cup each per day.
