W hen the kids ask for a new pet, consider the critter in question’s grass-nibbling potential. Guinea pigs are absolute lawn-trimming machines – if you can control their movement. Build them a pen-on-wheels, move it every few days and they’ll mow your entire lawn. Here’s the hardest part to work out – you’ll need one piggy per 20sq ...

Just as in times gone past man and beast could work together to lighten the load - the Mk. 1 Guinea Pig Lawnmower was born! You have to realise that this is a prototype. The next model will include motorised tracks that will slowly move the cage around the garden on a pre-determined route, meaning I don't have to keep dragging myself away from better things to do

17/06/2010 Yesterday, our 6 Guinea Pigs were placed on some very long grass and within 15 minutes they had eaten the lot! We've now realised we can just move them round the garden daily to keep the grass short for us. This is great as we can now relax in the garden and enjoy the sunshine whilst they do all...

08/05/2007 I wouldn't feed any fresh grass clippings cut by any type of mowers. Right before you go out to cut the grass take some clippers or scissors and cut a good amount of grass for the pigs and put it in a plastic bag then put it in the icebox. It will stay fresh for several days. 05-07-07, 12:35 pm #7. JarBax.

Guinea pigs still need their hay every day (keeping in mind that hay is indeed just dried grass!). But grass can supplement it and provides not only enrichment, but additional health benefits as well.

The grass has enough water content that they don't drink much water directly, as long as the tractor doesn't have much direct sunlight. Guinea pigs will eat just about any vegetation, and I'll supplement with what I have available. The only things I haven't seen them eat are certain vining species. I want to experiment with poison ivy - but haven't had the chance yet. The picture I

I let my two pigs graze on my lawn. They can mow down ~8-10 square feet per day before they get full and snooze. I have an open-bottomed pen that I put them in to keep them safe, and move it regularly so they have fresh grass.

They don't come out as a group very often as moving all 13 of them is a massive undertaking- usually I just sit in...

Our lawnmower finally gave up the ghost and as marvellous as it is to be able to put the pigs out on the grass and munch away , it is not really a lo. Create an account to join the conversation.

If your grass doesn’t resemble a thick soft carpet then it is best for them to avoid eating your lawn. Some of the earthy dirt and soil underneath has parasite or insect eggs mixed in with it. At this point, it would be safer to skip the munching and avoid future trips to the vet for deworming. As mentioned earlier, wet grass is a big no-no for guinea pigs. Leaving your cute rodents to
