Your guinea pig needs a varied diet to keep healthy and
happy. The main food in his diet should be a high-quality guinea pig pellet. He
will also need to eat fresh leafy greens. Choose high nutritional greens such
as romaine lettuce, kale or spinach. Add some other crunchy vegetables such as
carrot or squash for added nutrition. Your guinea pig will enjoy snacks of
small pieces of fruit such as apple slices or strawberries. However, your
guinea pig’s body cannot synthesize vitamin C so ensure that some of the fruits
and vegetables in his diet are high in this essential vitamin. Your guinea pig
will also need lots of timothy hay to keep his digestive system running
smoothly and all that nibbling will keep his teeth trim. Always give your
guinea pig access to fresh clean water. For more information, contact
your animal hospital Eau Claire, WI.
