Hey I'm in real need of help and advice please.
We picked up an 9 week old guinea on Friday 8/6. We've a large C&C cage with plenty of hay, water bottle, hidey houses and everything else.
Since taking him home he's hardly eaten or taken his water at all, aside from a thin slice of bell pepper and a little hay. The hay is the type that he's been used to as is all the other food we've put out. This was done Friday night, Saturday morning and night, and this morning (Sunday). We've been real quiet leaving him the time and space to settle but really stressed as he ain't eating or drinking.
Expected that he'd take his own time to explore and roam his new home but we've not seen him at all. Understand that's normal, but how about the food/water situation? I've read that if they don't eat hay for 48hrs then they've at risk of major health concerns.
Any help here guys
