Hi all,
I am new here, and have been monitoring the messeges
to see what's up. I have mostly hamsters, but we
also have one female gp, Patches. I have a feeding
question. How much do you feed them, and exactly
what do you feed them? Patches used to be eating
only pellets (and extras like hay and fresh stuff of
course.) Then I saw this stuff by Supreme called
Gerty Guinea Pig, and mixed that with the pellets.
That was quite a while ago, so she's been used to
this mixture. Anyhow, we don't use a dish, but use a
feeder hooked onto the cage bars. We have been
finding lots of food on the cage floor. My daughter
says piggies don't eat stuff off the floor. Anyhow,
we don't know if we are wasting food, or how much she
eats. She is definitely not losing weight, and seems
happy and healthy. My husband gives her a handful in
the morning, and I give her a handful in the
evening. Also, do most put vitamins in the water?
We haven't been, but have been giving her treats with
vitamin c and her food is fortified with vitamin c.
Thanks!
Nancy
