My baby Guinea pig refuses to feed
Haii as a first time piggy grandma I’m asking for suggestions on how to bring my four day old Guinea pigs weight up. He currently weights 53 grams at four days old (the usual weight for a newborn baby is 60-120) he is very active and eats pellets from the adult piggy’s food bowl all the time, he also eats veggies quite a lot. For context I don’t over feed him, i feed my adult piggy her veggies and he will steal them from her. I will also poke fresh veggies through the bars for her and he has adopted the habit of waiting at the bars for me to feed her. He will also eat a fair amount of hay and he will drink out of the water feeder. The mother and other baby’s don’t bully or kick him out, when he is trying to feed. It’s just when the mother is feeding the rest of the littler he will just sit alone by himself on the other end of my cage when she is feeding. He will also sleep by himself instead of with the group sometimes. He is a very friendly piggy and I don’t want to lose him, any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks!
Update on the baby! I weighed him this morning and he lost a gram so I think I will start to feed him myself. Any suggestions on that would be helpful!
