They're not spraying them to clean them. They're spraying them just to keep them from wilting.

All vegetables (with the exception of some organics) are grown with enormous amounts of fertilizer and pesticides. They should always be carefully washed.

My boys don't like cilantro. Guess they're just picky?

Try again tomorrow. When it's something new, give it a couple of tries before giving up. I gave my two girls a piece of yellow bell pepper tonight for the first time. My one basically eats anything so she took to it immediately. The other one sniffed it and walked away. She came back, sniffed again, took a bite and then scarfed it down. Some don't take right away to new things.

What kind of schedule? There's not much you can do in the way of scheduling for a guinea pig except to feed them at the same times every day.

Yes, feeding. I should've been more clearer.

Just feed them at the same times every day. Whatever suits you. It doesn't make any difference to them as long as the food comes. They'll learn the times, and will let you know when you're late.

I haven't posted in a while, but I do have a question.. Just a minute ago after giving my Guineas hay, I picked 1 of them up an held him, then he bit me, he didn't bring blood or nothing I can just see them marks where his teeth was. Is there a reason why he done that?

If he doesn't usually bite, and he just ate some hay, he probably needed to go to the bathroom and wanted to do it in the cage. Mine get bitey when I ignore that they want to go back in the cage.
