whats wrong

Question
hi
my names siaumy
i have a guinea pig(female) witch is neally 2 on the 6/01/05, the troblem is she peed alot today, i know because i use newspaper for her bedding. and it was very wet.
i give her lot of fruits and veggies and a little bit of pellets,
does this happen because the fruits and veggie have alot of juice?
or is it because the today is cold?
should i be worried?
sorry its long

thanks

Answer
Siaumy --

I wouldn't worry about this unless it becomes a regular habit.  However, I would cut back on the fruits and veggies and give her more pellets.  Guinea pig pellets are really optimal nutrition for a guinea pig, full of the nutrients that they need to survive.  They should have plenty of pellets to make sure that they are getting all the nutrients they need.  Fruits and veggies are good, but should be used sparingly, as treats, or as diet supplements, not the main part of the diet.

Hope this is helpful.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
