Composition [ edit ] Close view of loose grass hay. Poor-quality hay is dry, bleached out and coarse-stemmed. Sometimes, hay stored outdoors will look like this on the outside but still be green inside the bale. A dried, bleached or coarse bale is still edible and provides some nutritional value as long as it is dry and not moldy, dusty, or rotting Guinea pigs need extremely high levels of fibre in their diet. Without high fibre foods their digestive systems will not work correctly, making them susceptible to digestive problems. Your guinea pigs also need high levels of vitamin C which can be found in our Burgess Guinea Pig Nuggets, as well as certain fresh greens. What’s more, guinea pigs’ teeth are designed to continually grow, though would be worn down by the fibrous grasses they feed on in the wild. If guinea pigs do not get enough abrasive foods their teeth will become overgrown making it painful for them to eat at all. That’s why it’s so important that you ensure your guinea pigs’ diets are made up of roughly 85-90% high quality feeding hay or grass , such as Burgess Excel Feeding Hay with Hedgerow Herbs.
