Product Information

It’s worth noting that the standard guinea pig food from Science Selective contains alfalfa as a main ingredient so although we recommend the grain-free version, we don’t recommend the standard variety for adult guinea pigs. What is the best guinea pig food brand Vitamin A 23,500 iu, Vitamin D3 1,700 iu, Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol acetate) 95 mg, Vitamin C (ascorbyl monophosphate) 300 mg, Iron Sulphate Monohydrate 30 mg, Calcium Iodate Anhydrous 2.5 mg, Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate 25 mg, Manganous Oxide 48 mg, Zinc Oxide 34 mg, Zinc Chelate 166 mg, Antioxidant It consists of 16% protein, which is slightly lower than ideal, as and 19% fibre, which makes this a high fibre food that complements a regular supply of hay and a good variety of leafy greens throughout the week. Wagg only has 250mg/kg of vitamin C, which is about half of what would be considered ideal, so you may need to provide a supplement or ensure that you feed vegetables that are high in this essential vitamin. They also need fresh fruit and veg to keep a healthy diet. Leafy greens like lettuce and cabbage are great options, plus herbs such as basil, rosemary and dill will go down a treat. Seedless chopped apple and mango are yummy additions to keep your guinea pig eating away. They’ll even munch on kale (which will probably make you feel a little guilty about your diet choices).

Although some lettuce is considered good for rabbits, avoid feeding lighter coloured ones. This means you should not feed iceberg lettuce because it will give your cavie the runs.Pressure is needed to feel the spine and hip bones. Ribs cannot be defined. Fat layers present. The rump is rounded and loss of an inward curve at the waist. Harder to define legs.
