So my sister told me that my mom is sneaking in Walmart pellets, the Hart brand. She hid the bag from me, because she knows I don't want to fed them it. I've told her why, and she still refuses to accept the fact that those Walmart pellets are bad for them? What kind of mother forces her way into trying to feed my guinea pigs food that obviously isn't appropriate for their stomach?? Why does she even care? She told me that they're my full responsibility, but I can't take care of them properly with her interfering!
My guinea pigs have gone without the proper pellets for over 2 weeks now, because she refuses to buy the oxbow brand. I'm planning on using a petsmart gift card i got for Christmas to buy a bag today or tomorrow. I don't care if I can only afford the pellets, I just want them to finally have the minerals and nutrients they need. During those weeks without the pellets, they've been fine on the vegetables I give them, but I know it's not enough and they can't go long without those oxbow pellets.
I know if I give them a variety of vegetables, they wouldn't need the pellets, but I prefer them, because it's just easier that way instead of trying to chart everything and what not. My parents wouldn't understand anyway.
I don't know how long she's been giving them these pellets behind my back, but to sum things up, here's my number one question. Will they be fine?
