Question
Hey Josh,
Can Guinea Pigs eat grains like bread, rice, etc?
What snacks can I give my Guinea pig?
And whenever I touch my guinea pig's tummy, she bites me. :S
Is she pregnant? But we only have one guinea pig at home.
Thanks! :)

Answer
Hi, For your first question, you should not feed your guinea pig that many grains, in fact i would recommend that you feed her carrots, and oranges.  Foods that are rich in Vitamin C.  *do not feed her any greens* they are hard on the little guys.
And now your second question, if you got her within the last 2 months it is quite possible she is pregnant, and she will not show until a few days before she gives birth.  But then again she could just be fussy.  If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask for a follow up.
Best of luck
Josh
