I am looking after my friends rabbit and guinea pig for the week - they live together and have an 8ft hutch at home but here as we cannot transport that hutch (two 4fts with and adjoining tunnel), they are staying in a considerably smaller one so they said to let them out in the run all day to give them more space. The guinea loves mowing the lawn, we have had new turf put down recently and not mowed it - so it is getting quite long, but within 2-5 hours of being out the once long grass would be as short as she could get it all over the run.
When I come to lift them both out again she has a big tummy - and although droppings never runny she seems not to want her pellets (obviously essential for vit C) and turns her nose up at them. :? I cant tell whether it is her eating them or the rabbit when I have covered them for the night but I give her first pickings as the rabbit can bully her a bit when there is food around. But still she isn't bothered by it.
Should I be restricting the grass intake or will she stop when full :?:
Also how big should a nearly 7-8month old guinea be? I can pick her up in 1 hand but she struggles so I do cradle her but if she was calm enough she would be small enough to fit in one hand - although she has recently gone through a growth suprt a few months earlier LOL
Any help appreciated
