Include a teacup of fresh greens and fruit to up their vitamin C consumption (which is essential to their health). Guinea pig food and rabbit food is formulated for the specific pet’s dietary needs so you should not give your guinea pig any food that is designed for a rabbit.

It is very difficult to give a cavie too much vitamin C when feeding a combination of hay, pellets, and vegetables, although it is possible to do so if you give a liquid or powder supplement. Vitamin D is especially important to indoor guinea pigs because they will not be getting any of these essential vitamins from the sun. Make sure the total amount they get is still an eighth of a cup per piggy so they don’t consume too much. Having finally opened my small sized bags I now discover, inside is not the normal guinea pig crunch mixed food I had always previously had , but nuggets! If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label.Try hiding bits of food around their enclosure space because it replicates the natural foraging experience. The food is pellet based, though, and does contain 400mg of vitamin C per pound, which is the recommended level for cavies. If you're looking for a bulk bag of hay bedding that's also a suitable source of food for your guinea pig, then this is a fantastic pick.

The food is a little expensive compared to similar foods and the brittle pellets may not be to all cavies’ tastes and do cause a lot of broken pellets and some dust at the bottom of the bag. Make sure to avoid feeding your guinea pig corn, grains, seeds, nuts, peas, avocado, mushrooms, garden shrubs, buttercups, rhubarb leaves or onions.It also has blackcurrant to give a naturally sweet and appealing flavour, as well as oregano, which works to calm and relax even the most agitated small animals.

One of the biggest differences in the diets of these two pets is that rabbits don’t need added vitamin C because their bodies make this vitamin. Also avoid them getting their little paws on human foods like bread, chocolate, pasta, pickled foods, cereal, sugar, biscuits, or dairy products like cheese.

Pellets, however, can break in the packaging and if they are of too brittle a consistency, they can become quite dusty and unappealing while being knocked around in the bag.

Guinea pigs need pellet food because it is designed to give them the balanced nutrition their bodies need to be healthy. If you’re leaving them in the packet they were bought in, make sure it is completely sealed as light will reduce the vitamin C content.Check the ingredients on the packet and if Alfalfa or Lucerne appears first in the list, it means this is the main ingredient in the pellet food. We recommend that you supplement their diet with fresh hay at all times and small amounts of well washed fruit or greens for variety, such as cabbage, carrots, swede, apple or pear.

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. If they leave food, make sure to remove it after a couple of hours so they don’t consume rotten or off food.
