How many grams do you need to feed a guinea pig?

Answer 1

Many websites and guinea pig books recommend only offering about 20% of their food dish to treats and other sweet foods. If you feel the amount of apple you are giving her surpasses 20% of her hay pellets, then that is too much! Try giving her things like cucumbers, peppers, nuts, and other things like lettuce--if you want her to have a variety of natural foods. Here is a phenomenal website I've found for further charts of information and nutritional values of various guinea pig foods and general information:

*PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: Some types of lettuces can be lethal for your guinea pig, so check this website for the appropriate types of lettuce to offer your guinea pig!

Answer 2

As Guinea pigs eat mostly ANYTHING you need to give them a decent amount of food.

• Get a medium food bowl and take 2 hand fulls of the food and put it in the food bowl.
• DONT GIVE GUINEA PIGS WATER BOWLS GIVE THEM A WATER BOTTLE!

if you want to change the food then give them there old food and a little bit of the new food, each week give the guinea pigs more of the new food and less of the old food. (then they will get us to the new food more than the previous food!

it pretty much depends to you and you should be able to observe before you know which one is the right amount for my guinea pig i had to experiment for atleast 3 days to make sure that was the right amount for him. so pretty much it depends on your guinea pig and you the owner best wishes to you and your guinea pig!

Answer 4

All you have to do is leave the food in the cage like you do normally. They're like cats, they eat as much as they need to and then stop. They will eat as much as they want and you should let them figure out how much they need. But, if they are getting fat fast then stop feeding them that many treats like veggies and others because that is usually what makes them fat but, if you do stop and they still do not slim down then take the bowl out of the cage at nighttime.
