 I had him in college and he was my dorm mascot, all the drunk students would bring him veggies fromt he salad bar..he LOVED all the attention..he would just sqeek and whistle and talk as soon as he saw veggies..or if I came home from being out for awhile. He was just the sweetest pig. I miss him

I found a chewable Vitamin C tablet they would eat easily - it was Orange Juice Jr. and 100 mg - they need 50 mg a day of Vit. C, so that was an easy way to give it to each pig - each got half a tablet daily.

The hay pellets are hard enough that they help the pigs keep their teeth nicely worn so they don't end up with over-grown teeth. Piggies can not eat much Alfalfa so no Timothy/Alfalfa mixed pellets, ONLY Timothy or Orchard pellets can be used for the piggies. One important tip about the health of guinea pigs is to be sure to ONLY use bedding with no tree oils, especially pine. Aspen was a good one to use or Carefresh bedding, but Aspen was less expensive. Most piggies that die under age 4 is usually due to improper nutrition. Every piggy I had lived for 6 or more years with me, even the shelter piggies that I had no idea how old they were to begin with. If you feed them the proper foods and give them the space they need, they can live from 4 to 8 years old. Let's stop talking about piggies before I end up going to the shelter to save a few more .....

| I just remembered, Mr. Tom the Reptile Man rescues piggies from Shelters too. I have to ask him for permission to give his number on the Forum. He has some cutie-pie Piggies too. |
