Question
my guinea pig keeps knocking her food bowl over. i thought maybe she was running out of room in her cage and banged into it. i picked up her food and put it back in and she knocked it over right in front of me.i know she likes it, it's what she eats. why would she do this?  thanks   cathy

Answer
Hi Cathy

Your guinea pig is like my female she nocks over her too

This is happening because of 2 reasons
1. she is bored and wants to get attention
2. she might be lonley you might want to consider buying another guinea pig and if you have one then buy some guinea pig toys or make them yourself like boxes to hide in ect.

I hope this helps cathy good luck
