I always make sure that my guinea pigs have lots of hay and pellets and every evening they get their salad time. I usually give them a few leaves of lettuce (romaine, green leaf or red leaf, I try to switch it up) about 3-4 parsley sprigs, small chunk of carrot, and then something else whether its a piece of kale or some apple, pepper, ect. My mom will also feed them a few extra goodies through out the day couple carrot tops or a basil leaf here and there.
I am worried that my guineas are getting too much calcium though, I recently got a black fleece for their cage and now I am seeing some sludge where they have peed, I have seen a spot here and there in the corners of the cage on the coroplast but i don't want anything bad to happen my squeakers has quite the appetite (ALWAYS EATING) and I'm concerned he's getting more calcium than papua as he doesn't eat as much.
Does anyone have an amount of calcium in MG they should get per day or can anyone give me some examples of what you feed your guineas daily?
thank you everyone!
