    Sick guinea pig doesnt eat healthy

    oh no this diet is not just for one day. I repeat this diet around 3 times during the day cause he used to eat a lot. also, I do give him vegetables & bell peppers but like once in two days, cause he was never a fan. but I'll start giving him more of these, maybe now that he's bored of cucumber...
