Can Guinea Pigs Eat Grass All Day?

Guinea pigs absolutely love grass. It is one of their favorite foods to eat and they have a great appetite for it.

Whenever, i give my piggies grass, they devour it with abandon.

So can guinea pigs eat grass all day?

They can eat dry grass. It is better for their stomach’s and will help to settle them.

However, eating fresh grass all day will unsettle their stomach’s and give them gooey poop.

It is better to let them have a few hand fulls a day or just let the graze on fresh grass for an allotted time.

It’s not to say it is bad for them, its just that fresh is full of rich nutrients and just like us when we eat rich food, it will make their stomach’s work hard to digest it.

I have also found that they quite self regulating when it comes to food and when they have had enough of something, they will just leave it.

This is the same with grass and if you happen to leave you piggies out on a patch of grass for a prolonged period, then it is nothing to worry about.

They will eat what they need and leave the rest.
