I posted this somewhere else but didn't get a reply so maybe I have posted it in the wrong place?
One of my guinea pigs has suddenly gone off eating any veggies - she will eat pellets and excel hay and honey stick. She is also drinking alot.
She doesn't seen especially unwell, I have seen her popcorning although she isn't venturing downstairs.
Any ideas?

Drinking lots will probably be because she isn't getting the moisture from the veggies like she normally would. Have you tried tempting her with her fav veggies or even grass all piggies love grass.

Mine like some veggies one day and not the next - they can be very fussy lol I would try grass as Dawn says - mine have never gone off that  |

She will take veggies if you put them next to her. I normally give all the fresh food on the bottom floor of their cage and she's normally first down and stopping everyone else from eating. But not any more. She wont go anywhere but the top floor of the three. Like I say though she 's eating plenty of hay and pellets and honey stick and those excel treats that look like cigars.
She runs about up there and popcorns. She seems to have got a bit precious about the top floor being hers and chases the others down from there.
She ate some grass yesterday and some coriander and a baby corn today but only when it's brought to her - she wont go to it any more...
Do you think she's just being fussy? Maybe she's bored of the veggies I feed her?

Maybe shes just lazy hehe, maybe she knows that you will put her veggies with her. Other than that unless she has fallen from from the ramp then i cant think of anything else.

Thanks for the replies.... She's still behaving the same. I have put her out in the run with the others for this evening - lets see if she acts normal out there with them.
