Is rusty water harmful for your guinea pig if they only drank it for a week?

This heavily depends on several important factors, such as: - how (and with what) was the water contaminated with - was it the only source of water for the guinea pig in question - how old/heavy was the guinea pig in that time - etc It is of grave importance that your guinea pig be checked by a vetenarian as soon as possible. They are small animals with tendency to hide their symptoms of illness, which could progress very fast if something is wrong. Watch his/hers behaviours for anything unusual, and weigh it daily for suspicious weight fluctuations. Check link for more info.

Healthy foods for your guinea pig lose weight?

To get your piggy to lose weight, firstly check its actual weight at the moment and determine if the Guinea Pig is already healthy. If it is overweight, avoid feeding it fruit and put it on a strict diet of just broccoli, arugula (But only a small amount), beets (Only a small amount as well), and LOTS of timothy hay. Make sure your piggy has plenty of room to run and exercise. If your Guinea Pig shows no interest in running or exercising, take it to the vet - it may have a sickness. I hope this helps!
