Feeding and Care Guides
- Guinea pigs have a very special physiology which requires the right diet in order to maintain good dental and digestive health.
- The most important part of their diet is hay and grass. Lots of good quality, clean hay should always be available for them to graze on.
- Hay should be supplemented by guinea pig nuggets to provide additional fibre, vitamins and minerals.
- Guinea pig nuggets should be available each morning in a good quality earthenware bowl. Plastic bowls should be avoided.
- Fresh greens, vegetables and fruits can be fed in small amounts on a daily basis, although some can be poisonous to these pets so take care to find out a foods safety before feeding.
- Clean drinking water should always be available and should be changed ideally twice a day.
