Hello all!
I have noticed a few strange things with my new guinea pig:
1. He doesn't eat the dried fruits or veggies in his food but the pet store asked me not to change his food. But he isn't eating anything but the pellets.
2. He has been eating hay like no other it seems like I am giving him handfuls every five mins.
3. I changed his cage two days ago and its covered in poop again and not just a little bit! Is that ok?
I am wondering if this is natural or if there maybe something wrong with him. The pet shop lady told me that he is about three months old. The timothy hay (that was provided with the kit we bought from the pet shop) he has doesn't have alfalfa in it and I read that its important to have that in the hay. ANY and ALL advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
