have you left a bowl with the same food for 6 days in the cage?

Thanks! then leaks and chives are also out

Pumpkin leaves are edible, but not sure for piggies. How about spring onions? my pigs like them, but i gave them only once

@CavyMama sorry, my wrong, not eventually!!! but once in a while....in fact today was the first day as i found baby red cabbage As for the pellets, yeah, even the people here feed them with that, i know that is not good and i am just giving up on that. At the same time i am running low in...
