fruits and veggies for your guinea pigs

hey everyone! well if you love your guinea pigs, like me :), you would know that guinea pigs love fruits and veggies!
today I was thinking, "it takes a long time to prepare food for my guinea pigs!" (I wash it and chop it up) so I had an idea! why not prepare the food ahead of time so that I can just grab it and go when I feed them? I decided to plan ahead and put their fruits and veggies in Ziploc bags in the fridge! guinea pigs need at least 1-2 cups of fruits and veggies a day (I give it to them every other day) I would normally use romaine lettuce and sometimes apples, but this is what I had today...

                                                          I started with celery....

                                      I took all the sticks off of the stalk and washed each one.
                           we get organic fruits and veggies so they some times have dirt on them

                                                   I put a piece on a cutting board

                                                                checked it for bad spots

                                                      I cut of the bad parts (brown yucky stuff)
                                         and sliced it in half so that it would fit in the Ziploc bags

 

 

                      I then labeled the bags with my guinea pigs names (this is optional, I just did it because I didn't want my family members to use their food)

                                             then I did the same thing with the carrots
                                 checked them for bad spots and sliced them in half

 I usually cut off 1 carrot slice for each guinea pig, so they can munch on them while I clean their cages

 

   and it is very important that guinea pigs get their vitamin C and oranges are full of it! so I cut the orange in half and then in fourths and divided them up into the Ziploc bags.

and here they are finished!

thank you for reading!

please comment and tell me if you tried it and if it worked for you!

I hope this makes taking care of your guinea pigs much easier :)
