The guinea pigs are still warm and fluffy! We found a trick to get Belle to eat her vitamin C every time: buy the human vitamin C from the pharmacy and cut it into 8 or 16 pieces (to get it to be 25 or 50 milligrams). We found out this worked because I tried the pig C to see if Belle might not like the taste and that was why she was rejecting it, and it tasted like chalk. We then tried the human vitamin C and she ate it like a champ. Chloe still likes the pig C though, and eats it just fine.
Today we fed the pigs watermelon, and they actually liked the rind better than the fruit! Sophie (our dog) ate the fruit for them though. ;) You should feed your pigs about 75% Timothy Hay, 20% pellets, and 5% fruits and veggies, but we probably feed our pigs more fruit than pellets. :)
Have a piggish day!
