Aha now that's VERY helpful! I checked the charts extensively when I first got my piggies and have based everything on then, the peppers are half going bad when I find them is the problem so it's hit and miss, the things I listed are the things I find continuously is why I just listed those, I...

Sirry forgot to include the greens I previously wrote in my first post!

That's a really good idea to grow my own but I'd have to waif for them so til then need to work with what I have :-/ I never have and never will feed them ice berg I know it's no good for them. Greens wise I can find celery sometimes, romaine all the time and generally Swiss chard is around, I...

Hi all and thanks for your replies, I'm in Cyprus, I can get a hold of some other things sometimes but they are not always available, some things are also going and I wouldn't eat them myself so won't ggive them to my piggies, i of coarse add other things when available but these are the main...

Hi all, I was going really well with my 4 babies diets and then it started to all go wrong when they stopped selling certain things where I live! I can only get ahold of the following vegetables so was wondering if anyone could help me make up a good menu from these things?! Thanks parsley...

O yes I agree but the situation is 2 boys and 2 girls in separate cages, 1 boy is still young and growing and 1 girl is very young and growing so I was advised that they need to have the pellet available. At the end of the day half is left behind so I'm only topping up half really. I am home all...

Well my piggies like everything I give them so I'm very lucky I guess, I don't measure out theyre meals but the little bowls I feed them in are a cups worth roughly so I eyeball it giving them a little extra actually. I don't need to take any veggies away as they are all very accustomed to the...

Can Zucchini be any variety? For example I can find the light green coloured variety?

Yes that did help thank you! I'm generaly going along those lines already but I think I'll be tweaking a few things, isnt cauliflower and brokoli a little gassy for them? I stayed clear of those and stuck to the leaves only previously? I can't get kale anywhere! And peas in the pod are few and...

I've been following that fantastic chart since day one, it's been a great help! I cut everything up quite small I guess so a few slices of cucumber, a cherry tomatoe, carrot and celery doesn't seem to add up to much for them with some lettuce! Maybe I should be feeding it less cut up, would...

I know what they can and can't eat but for example I read a post somewhere a while ago about spinach doing something that bothers there stomach or something so I am in two minds on what/how often. I keep there fresh meals to 1 cup a day each but making up a cup is hard with what's available as I...

Hi all, So I was doing really well with my piggies meals until things started to go out of season and everything is getting really messed up and I'm getting really confused on everything. I live in Cyprus and everything comes into season differently and there's not a lot widely available that I...

Hi all, so baby is now 3 days old, feeding on milk too and learning to nibble on sweet peppers and hay in particular. My question is what kind of daily weight gain should I be looking for? Pup was born quite in the thin side and although seem to be filling out I want to keep tabs on weight...

I agree with MissJean's post but just wanted to mention that the charts are currently being revised according to other posts so some things may not be correct. Try to check between the charts which are extremely helpful and also member posts :0) to cross check info :0)

Hi Nousername, I have had so much great advice from the wonderful people on this forum so I wanted to give some back too. Ok so when I got my babies they did the same thing except probably eating less! They feel new and everything is unfamiliar too just imagine yourself in a strangers home for...

Well they roughly eat the same amount, I have been checking, but I did notice Ruby eating the greens up fast and Chilly getting that little bit less so I started to put the greens below the other things in there bowls so that the green would last long enough rather than Ruby running off with...

Good idea, but would really upset them if I seperated them, they're very attached to each other and wheek when one is away from the other, they actually search to find the other very sweet. Hay they both get plenty of, it's very funny when they eat because Chilly being younger likes to eat...

It's not so much Getty enou because I keep an eye as they're eating and they tend to share everything but it's more that fact that for example if I give one slice of something to each and one eats both slices than all the not so good things like sugars calcium etc are doubled for that piggy so I...

If we follow guidelines for feeding, there based on one cavy so if we have 2 or more and for example you double the amout of a particular veg for 2 then if one cavy eats both portions that means that one pig is getting too much. So my question is, is this a problem, dangerous? what do we do in...
