Guinea Pig Food

When it comes to choosing food for guinea pigs that will provide your piggy pals with the right nutrition, what should you look for? Guinea pigs have very delicate digestive systems and need a really high fibre diet, so feeding guinea pigs unlimited high quality feeding hay is really important to keep them healthy and happy. Just like us, guinea pigs aren’t able to make their own vitamin C, and need a daily dose in their guinea pig food or they can suffer all sorts of health issues.
