Your guinea pig needs a variety of foods to keep him healthy and happy. The mainstay of his diet should be a high-quality guinea pig pellet. Purchase the pellets from a reputable pet food suppler with high turnover so you know the pellets aren’t stale. Give your guinea pig fresh leafy greens. Choose greens with high nutrition such as romaine lettuce, kale or spinach. Add some other crunchy vegetables such as carrots or squash for added nutrition. Small pieces of fruit such as apple slices or strawberries offer a welcome treat. Your guinea pig’s body cannot formulate vitamin C so ensure that some of the fruits and vegetables you feed him are high in this essential vitamin. Your guinea pig also needs lots of timothy hay to keep his digestive tract moving smoothly and all that nibbling helps keep his teeth trim. Learn more from your pet clinic Bourne MA.
