While hay should form the main bulk of the diet and should be in constant supply as it is needed to keep their digestive systems functioning correctly and to help keep their ever-growing teeth worn down, a guinea pig food should be fed alongside it to ensure that a complete and balanced diet is being provided. We recommend feeding a nugget based guinea pig food as these offer a nutritious diet in the form of extruded pellets, allowing your pet to take in all the necessary nutrients from the food, whereas muesli based foods tend to encourage selective feeding which can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Guinea pigs are small, cute and like their food. We love our little pets and as their owners, we want to make sure they get the nutritional food that they need to stay healthy and happy. Unlike some pets, guinea pigs need different types of food to complete their full diet, so it’s good to know exactly what they will need every day.Firstly, it’s good to note that guinea pigs are natural herbivores, so their diet is completely plant-based. If they were in the wild, they’d forage for things like small herbs and grass to eat. Because of their dental needs, as their teeth never stop growing, roughage is essential to their diet and is what they love eating. Chewing on some roughage is good for their dental health, but also provides them with a natural source of fibre. Wheat fibre, sunflower meal, oat fibre, grass meal, whole oats, whole wheat, lucerne meal, carob bean meal, calcium carbonate, linseed (1%), vegetable oil, mineral, yeast. Our combination of vitamins A, C & E with carefully selected trace elements, help support a healthy immune system.

Harringtons Optimum Guinea Pig Food is a pellet-based food consisting of 17% protein and 17% fibre, both of which are about reasonable for a guinea pig’s daily diet. The pellet-based food helps prevent selective eating, whereby a guinea pig eats its favorite ingredients and leaves the ingredients it doesn’t like.

At Wagg we use colours from a mineral source found in nature and we don’t add artificial flavours to any of our foods. Experts generally recommend a diet consisting of 18%-20% protein and 10%-16% fibre. A little higher or lower than this should be safe for a healthy adult, and if your vet has advised a high or low fibre diet, you should follow these recommendations to ensure good health. The Importance of Vitamin C If your pet isn’t finishing their food, then you could be giving them too much or they might just not like it. It’s worth trying a bit less food or a different type of food to see how they get on. If they leave food, make sure to remove it after a couple of hours so they don’t consume rotten or off food. If they’re leaving a lot of food and the changes don’t work, then make sure to call your vet, as there could be something more serious going on. How do I introduce new food into my guinea pig’s diet? Make sure they always have quality grass and/or hay every day to keep them satisfied. Fresh water and grass to graze is the best foundation for a quality guinea pig diet.Romaine lettuce, kale, cilantro, and parsley should make up the bulk of the vegetables and can be combined with bell peppers and broccoli. Carrot tops are another popular addition. If we miss you on the first delivery attempt, we will try again the next working day.

Occasionally we know you may want to return items, we have tried to make our terms as clear as possible to avoid any nasty surprises. Cucumbers are not toxic to guinea pigs and are, therefore, quite safe to feed. They are also low in sugar, which means that they should not cause your cavy to put on weight. However, they also have a high moisture content and are low in vitamin C. This means that while they can eat cucumber, most guinea pigs would benefit from being given better quality and more nutritionally beneficial foods instead. Feed no more than a slice or two, two or three times a week. Conclusion
