Product Information

Guinea pigs have very delicate digestive systems which need to be treated with care. These small rodents need a really high-fibre diet, so feeding them unlimited high-quality hay or fresh grass is vital. Alongside this, you should provide high-quality guinea pig nuggets and the occasional treat. Natural ingredients provides a natural diet, whilst its manufacturing ensures consistency, resulting in health and vitality

Plus, don’t forget to supply your piggies with a constant supply of fresh, clean water in a bottle with a solid sipper tube, attached to their accommodation. How much hay should I feed my guinea pig? Although they make up only a small portion of a guinea pig’s feeding needs, high-quality nuggets are really important. The carefully balanced vitamins and minerals they contain support healthy eyes, skin and coat and promote a healthy digestion. In the first few days, measure out your guinea pigs’ normal food intake for the day. Take out a small amount and replace it with the same amount of the new nuggets. Mix them together so that your guineas eat a combination of the two. I give it 4.5 stars. It is very beneficial but the one hang-up with it is that it is alfalfa-based menaing it is notably higher in calcium and protein. Calcium levels would have to be cut down in the rest of the diet of pigs over 6-7 months, meaning no other alfalfa products and not too many carrots/parsley/spinach portions.Got a question about choosing guinea pig pellets or nuggets over other types of guinea pig food? To help you learn more about feeding a healthy diet to your gorgeous guineas, we’ve put together some really useful answers from our nutrition team at Burgess, the pet care experts . What should a healthy diet for guinea pigs consist of? Guinea pigs don’t naturally eat fruit or root vegetables, but you can include them in small amounts as treats. This could be small pieces of carrot or celery, a cherry tomato, a little bit of banana or an apple quarter. While fresh fruit is a nice treat, it’s high in sugar and too much of it can cause your guinea pigs to put on weight. Guinea pig nuggets should be high in beneficial fibre to support your guinea pigs’ digestive health, contain vitamin C and antioxidants to support their immune system, and be fortified with vitamins and minerals to support healthy eyes, skin and coat. The majority of your piggies’ diet – around 85-90% – should be tasty, top-quality feeding hay and grazed grass (never feed grass cuttings as this will make your guinea pigs unwell). As a guide, provide each pet with at least their own body size in fresh guinea pig feeding hay every day.
