Can guinea pigs eat applesauce?

No they can't. Some of the contents in applesauce may have high sugar content or unhealthy ingredients that will make the guinea pig sick. It depends on what's in the applesauce but just to be safe I wouldn't feed my guinea pig applesauce.

Instead, feed your pet lot of bell peppers! they're high in vitamin C which guinea pigs need a lot of :) I always feed mine green but experiment and see which one your pet likes best. And if you wanted to feed your pet applesauce because it was sweet then feed your guinea pig yogurt drops. They have th3em in almost ALL pet stores and rodent pets LOVE them <333. I hope this information was helpful to you :)!

Do guinea pigs grow to the size of their cage?

No, they really like to interact with people. They are like toddlers, you can't take your eyes off them, even for a second! Do not use exercise balls because it causes back problems. Their backs don't curve the way hamsters and ferrets back's do, and it actually ends up hurting them even if they appear to like it. Your best bet is to use a corral (like a fence that forms a circle) on newspaper in case of accidents. They also love to be held, and are quite content to just sit on your lap and nibble fresh veggies or timothy hay. Enjoy your piggy!

How much hay can guinea pigs eat?

In short, find a good basic pellet. Under 1 year, you can feed them an alfalfa base. Over that, try to find one made with timothy. Feed hay every day. The standard is alfalfa for babies, and timothy for not babies-- if you've gotten your pig from a store, she should be on timothy already. Fresh fruits and veggies are a must. Oranges every day or every other day help put vitamin C in their diet. Dark leafy greens provide iron and other nutrients. Carrots can be fed sparingly as a treat, since they're high in sugar. Fruits on occasion, as the acid content in some, and sugar in others, can lead to a fat piggy!

NEVER feed chocolate, avocado, onions, or raw potato.

Answer:

Anything with vitamin C, such as celery, regular guinea pig food and timothy hay are its natural diet!

Actually, hey can be very smart. I taught my hamster to run through a whole agility set that I made out of popsicle sticks.

Try searching different tricks to teach your hamster.

Can guinea pigs eat zuchini?

Of course they can. Never had aproblem with it before. But just a tip when feeding it to them, cut it so the inside is visible... E.G Make sure the peice isn't all covered with green skin, or else they wont eat it. Once you cut it in to quarters they will smell it and eat it, even the green skin. Its because the skin is quite bitter and blocks the smell so it needs to be cut in half long ways. but once they smell it they go crazy over it.

As it is edible for them and helps wear down their teeth. People feed timothy hay to guinea pigs that aren't pregnant or young as if you give a normal guinea pig alfalfa hay (which is for pregnant guinea pigs and young guinea pigs), it will be too high in calcium (I think) which is bad for them.
