Product Information

Vitamin C is an essential part of your guinea pig’s diet and although you should make sure your pets get plenty of this vitamin in their fresh daily veggies, it’s important their pellet food also has this essential nutrient. While we provide information resources and canine education, the content here is not a substitute for veterinary guidance. Also avoid them getting their little paws on human foods like bread, chocolate, pasta, pickled foods, cereal, sugar, biscuits, or dairy products like cheese. Because of their dental needs, as their teeth never stop growing, roughage is essential to their diet and is what they love eating. Giving a variety of different veggies over the course of the week will keep your cavie interested and prevent it getting bored of the same food, while also enabling you to meet all vitamin and mineral requirements for your pet.

They’ll even munch on kale (which will probably make you feel a little guilty about your diet choices). We put their needs before our own and create complete, balanced recipes to keep our furry pals healthy and happy. We like the Haypigs Junior Food Tamer Bowl which is the perfect size for 2 portions of daily pellets.Pellet food should only be a small part of a guinea pig’s diet with hay being the largest part of their daily food intake.

Although many commercial guinea pig foods do include grain, processed grains are difficult for guinea pigs to digest, which means that they can cause gastrointestinal upset and may prevent your cavie from getting its nutritional requirements from the food it eats. Vitamin D is especially important to indoor guinea pigs because they will not be getting any of these essential vitamins from the sun.

Pellets, however, can break in the packaging and if they are of too brittle a consistency, they can become quite dusty and unappealing while being knocked around in the bag.

If you’re leaving them in the packet they were bought in, make sure it is completely sealed as light will reduce the vitamin C content.

By making sure that the food does have good vitamin C levels, you can avoid the possibility of giving too much.

It is a muesli-type mix, which might be a problem for selective eaters because they will pick out the pieces they want and leave behind those they aren’t keen on. With many different brands selling various types of guinea pig food it’s difficult to know which one to choose and which pellets are going to be best for your guinea pigs. Hay is essential to provide them with a complete diet and help them maintain healthy digestion, promote natural tooth wear and provide environmental enrichment. The food can be quite dusty, but it does contain 350mg/kg of vitamin C, which should be just about enough if it is contained in the bits that your cavie eats and not those that it leaves.
