So I will be welcoming a new piggie into the house soon, around the 19th to be exact. Adopting her from the local shelter.
What should I get ready for her? I've had guinea pigs before, of course, but this one will be 3 weeks old when I get her. I've never cared for one so young.
I know she needs higher calcium than my two older piggies. So should I give her kale, collards, parsley etc as her veggie? Normally I avoid those because of the calcium content.

How is this for pellets? Has more calcium than I'd give the older girls but might be good for the baby. Or should I order some baby pellets online? The local petco only has food like that, and I was thinking of doing that just with high calcium veggies
I can get alfalfa hay easy enough from petco or tractor supply, or would a combo of all this be too much calcium?
Thanks for your help!
