I recently bought a Guinea Pig here in Iloilo and I've been having the hardest time.
No hay anywhere! Can anyone suggest what I can feed him in lieu of hay? I've been feeding him pellets and vegetables, but I hear that hay is essential to their diet.
I took my cavy to the vet for a check up and the Doctor gave me multivitamins (LC-VIT) to give him. Isn't this bad for them? I don't know who to follow, my vet or the stuff I've been reading on the internet.
As for the cage, I had one made based on the pics I saw on Guinea Pig Cages. I've been using old newspapers and wood shavings as bedding. Is this okay?
I'd like to add that pet stores here have been treating their Guinea Pigs badly. They keep them in small wire cages and they can't even get the breeds right. I want to buy them all and save them but I can only take care of 1 at the moment. :sad:
Please help. Thanks
