Your guinea pig can’t head to the store and pick up his own food, so he will need you to offer him a diet that will help to keep his body healthy. This will mean not only finding things that she can eat, but also finding the best quality of them available.

Your pet will need a commercial mix that includes natural ingredients and leaves out the artificial ones. This should have several different whole food options within it, and will be the base for your pet’s diet. You should also supplement this with fresh produce that has been thoroughly washed and checked for freshness. Hay will also be a necessity for your pet, and should be offered as needed, unlike fresh produce and commercial foods that must be measured and offered in specific portions. For additional information, please contact your local McHenry, IL vet.
