Re: Guinea pigs getting skinny!
Sounds like a vet visit is needed to me, if they are getting enough food but still not gaining weight then their must be an underlying cause. She could have issues with her teeth, even though she is eating she might not be able to eat enough with her teeth.

Re: Guinea pigs getting skinny!
well it turns out they are actually pretty big. kaytie is 900grams and pisatchio is 1100 grams.
i think i think they are getting lighter because i have been handling the kitten alot, and he is 1 and a half kg's more than the guinea pigs!
