​Caring for Guinea Pigs - January 2019

We recently welcomed  two male guinea pigs to our family, for free! Buying hay from the pet store can be expensive at $13-15 for a 2kg bag. Instead of buying small bags I bought a whole bale of lucerne at the fodder store for $15. So far this bale has lasted three months and we use it for their bedding and part of their feed. They also need one cup of fresh food a day so I see what is getting a bit wilted in the fridge.  The scrappy bits of green veg in the garden make for good feed; they even scraps like strawberry tops.
