In response to your questions:
1. See ...Hi Reilley! In response to your questions:<br />1. See our post, "<a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/2013/01/ask-guinea-pig-why-are-guinea-pigs.html" rel="nofollow">Ask A Guinea Pig: Why Are Guinea Pigs Skittish?</a>" to find out why Teddy and Gremlin scurry away.<br />2. The short answer to your bathing question is guinea pigs should be bathed when they start to smell, and no more than once a month. Long-haired piggies tend need this more than short-haired piggies. I think we'll do an Ask A Guinea Pig post on this with a longer answer, so stay tuned!<br />3. You should give guinea pigs unlimited access to hay, which <a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/2012/12/ask-guinea-pig-portion-sizes.html" rel="nofollow">should comprise about 50% of our diet</a>. There are lots of fruits and vegetables you can feed us! Just check out the <a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/search/label/what%20can%20guinea%20pigs%20eat" rel="nofollow">"What Can Guinea Pigs Eat" label</a> to find posts with ideas.<br />4. Regarding the vet, see our posts on <a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/2013/12/should-i-take-my-guinea-pig-to-vet.html" rel="nofollow">"Should I Take My Guinea Pig to the Vet?"</a> and <a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-of-all-living-things-small.html" rel="nofollow">"Review of All Living Things Small Animal Carrier, Large"</a>. These are just the carriers that our humans use and we like, not necessarily the only good choice. We each get our own carriers. Whether your piggies should all be in the same carrier or not probably depends on how large your carrier is and how well they get along. You don't want to have fighting in the car with no good way of separating them!Lola, Buffy, and Broccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184277366545421212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-9486249284127977062014-02-25T21:11:48.731-05:002014-02-25T21:11:48.731-05:00Oh, and about the scurrying problem, they need to ...Oh, and about the scurrying problem, they need to get used to you. Sit by their cage and feed them a carrot. We like anyone who will feed us something good. As for the vet question, 2 or 3 times a year is what we think is good, but consult with Lola, Buffy and Broccoli.<br />XOXO<br />Ashley & Wendyriordan77piglovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497552416717838317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-46261809599198945182014-02-25T21:07:40.219-05:002014-02-25T21:07:40.219-05:00Romaine lettuce is good, but iceberg lettuce is po...Romaine lettuce is good, but iceberg lettuce is poisonous. Carrots are awesome, and we also need vitamin C to survive.

I have 2 guinea p...Dear Buffy, Broccoli, and Lola,<br /><br />I have 2 guinea pigs that we have had for a year or two, Teddy and Gremlin. They are mother (Gremlin) and daughter (Teddy) and I have a few concerns about them and caring for them because we had bought them from their previous owner who couldn't take care of them any more. <br />Why do my guinea pigs Teddy and Gremlin always scurry away when I try to pick them up? Am I picking them up correctly? Are they afraid of me? Am I catching them at a bad time? Please help, I am very confused and worried. <br />Second of all, how often should guinea pigs be bathed? Currently we bathe them once a week, but we don’t use any shampoo. Is this a problem or is this fine? <br />Now for food. Currently we feed then pellets and lettuce. I have read on your site that they should eat hay as well but I don’t know any proportions food-wise. Is there any other food that we should feed them? And what other vegetables can/should we feed them for more of a variety.<br />The next thing on my list is checkups. How often should guinea pigs be brought to the vet and what should we bring them in? Is there a specific carrier that we should use and should they be in the same carrier?<br />Well that’s all for now, if I think of more I will post another comment containing those said questions.<br />Sincerely Reilley.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317031130078622871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-61806610479491009472014-02-25T11:22:03.306-05:002014-02-25T11:22:03.306-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317031130078622871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-10522974757988436112014-02-24T20:35:15.707-05:002014-02-24T20:35:15.707-05:00Can we eat water cress?
