Wagg Twitch Guinea Pig Nuggets, 2kg

Product Information

You should feed approximately one cup of fresh vegetables per day. 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.

Science Selective Supreme Guinea Pig Food is an expensive food, but it is considered a good quality food, popular with guinea pigs, and meets the nutritional requirements of your cavie. The cost of your guinea pig food will vary depending on which brand you buy. However, we don’t recommend you go for the cheapest option as it’s very likely the quality won’t be anywhere near as good. Fun feeding is a great way of keeping your pet keen to eat and interested in their food. Try hiding bits of food around their enclosure space because it replicates the natural foraging experience. You can also try gnawing toys or paper bags and boxes filled with hay. There are hay tunnels for you to try, too, which offer an exciting experience for your guinea pig. PetKeen.com does not intend to provide veterinary advice. While we provide information resources and canine education, the content here is not a substitute for veterinary guidance.We recommend putting a little of the new food in their bowl with some of the original food. Each day, increase the amount of new food and reduce the amount of the previous food you used until you are just using the new pellets. Make sure the total amount they get is still an eighth of a cup per piggy so they don’t consume too much. I’ve run out of pellets – what should I do? Vitamin A 23000IU/kg, Vitamin C 800mg/kg, Vitamin D? 1500IU/kg, Ferrous sulphate monohydrate 152mg/kg, Calcium iodate anhydrous 1.5mg/kg, Copper sulphate pentahydrate 20mg/kg, Manganese oxide 38mg/kg, Zinc oxide 62mg/kg, Sodium selenite 0.2mg/kg. If you want to change your guinea pig’s pellet food to another brand or type, it’s important you do this gradually to avoid any tummy troubles. 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.
