Your guinea pig stays within the confines of your home almost every day, so he can’t head out and get some food for himself. He depends on you to not only give him tasty things to eat, but also to take his nutritional requirements into account when choosing food items.  What should you be feeding him?

Your guinea pig will enjoy plenty of hay as this will make up a good portion of her diet. Timothy hay is usually sought after for guinea pigs. Pellet mixes can also be a great addition to a healthy diet, but make sure to offer your pet only high-quality commercial mixes that are made with all-natural ingredients. Fruits and vegetables can also be offered, but not all are safe for your pet to consume so do your research prior to offering anything to your pet.
