Hi--
My 4-5yr old male, Scooter, has just been diagnosed with what appears to be early signs of kidney dysfunction. I have had guinea pigs my whole life (my last one lived to the ripe old age of 8) and have never had this problem come up. My vet said there's really nothing we can do except keep an eye on him that he's still eating on his own, and appears happy---plenty of water, of course. I know with people and even for my parrot there are certain dietary steps that one can take to at least slow any kind of problem, but GP pellets are pretty one size fits all. Any suggestions? thanks! Steph
