Which vegetables can you feed to your Guinea Pig?
by Customer Care on Jan 23 2024
Vegetables play an important part of a critter's diet.
While grassy hay is the MOST important, a cup of veggies for your pet once or twice a day helps keep your pet's health and gut in check.
Offer your floofs a nice variety!Some veggies can be fed daily, while others are best in moderation due to their higher calcium, acidity or 'bloat' content (we've marked these for you on our "Veggie" Table 👇). Remember to also load up on veggies high in Vitamin C - as piggies can't produce this vitamin by themselves (just like us hoomans!). We recommend capsicums everyday to make sure your pets get their daily dose - they just LOVE them (seeds and all!)!And of course, along with veggies, fruit and pellets, always ensure your pets have constant access to grassy hay, all day!Which vegetable is your piggy's favourite?
Bon Appétit!
