omg! i gave my guinea pig elephant ear!! wats going 2 happpen!!! hes acting weird now

My guinea pig ate cheese once and they cant have cheese but he was ok.

Most guinea pigs love pineapple! But just be sure to de-vein and feed in small portions. Munch away, little piggies!

Onion is, in fact, safe for guinea pigs to eat. Its entry on the Guinea Pig Safe Food List is correct. When we first made this list, we were very careful about adding “potentially unsafe” foods. Since then, we learned that onion IS safe, we just forgot to remove it from this list.

Good catch! Thank you!!

Yes, guinea pigs can eat pumpkin, just not the seeds. Just feed in moderation, just a few bits of the “fleshy” parts of pumpkin 1 to 2 times per week.

Hi, Angela!
Your guinea pig CAN eat peas. Thanks for noticing the error, it’s been removed from the Unsafe Food List.

About the pink diarrhea: that isn’t good at all, and regardless if you change his diet, he should see a vet immediately. It may be blood, which can indicate a variety of serious health issues. Best of luck to you and your piggie!

Just watch your piggie closely and monitor to make sure he/she is eating and drinking. If you notice that the cavy stops eating, take him/her to the vet immediately. It’s a good idea to keep some Critical Care around for situations like this; Critical Care can be fed if your piggie stops eating on his or her own.

if you notice weird behavior, “unhealthy” poos, or lack of interest in eating, it’s urgent you seek medical attention straight away.

By the way, tell your brother guinea pigs can’t have bread, whether it has turkey on it or not

What about using a home-made hay rack, just use a piece of grid and bend into shape, like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/89016530105903587/

Glad this list helped! Good luck!

Guinea pigs really shouldn’t be eating the seeds, as they can lead to digestive issues. Seeds in cavy food is the sign of low-quality feed. Try getting food that contains only hay-based pellets, like the kinds for sale at KMS Hayloft

Raw beans of any kind are dangerous. This list is vague for a reason – it lists foods that are poisonous or simply not safe for guinea pig consumption, meaning dangerous or toxic if fed carelessly. Green beans are safe but I’ve never heard about the bean “peas” posing a choking hazard. But that is a good point, especially for small cavies or if the “pea” part is large and/or hard. That being said, greens beans, like any bean, should NOT be fed regularly as they can cause bloat/gas. Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you liked How to Clean Your Guinea Pig’s Ears!
