FAQs

How much food should I give my guinea pig?

The amount varies depending on your guinea pig's size, age, and activity level. Generally, a small handful (about a tablespoon or two) once or twice a day is a good starting point, alongside plenty of hay and fresh greens.

Can I feed this to baby guinea pigs?

This product is specifically for adult guinea pigs. Baby guinea pigs have different nutritional needs. Consult with your vet about the appropriate food for young guinea pigs.

Is this food a complete diet?

No, it is a supplementary food. It needs to be combined with a high-quality hay (like Timothy hay) and fresh vegetables for a complete diet.

How should I store the food?

Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness.

What if my guinea pig doesn't like the nuggets?

Guinea pigs can have preferences. Try mixing the nuggets with other foods they enjoy, or gradually introduce them. If your guinea pig consistently refuses the nuggets, consult with your vet.

What are the main ingredients?

The ingredients typically include high-fiber components like grass, along with essential vitamins, minerals, and mint for taste. Check the packaging for the full list of ingredients.

How often should I clean the food bowl?

Clean the food bowl daily to prevent bacterial growth and ensure your guinea pig always has access to fresh, clean food.

What is the shelf life of the food?

Check the packaging for the expiration date. Once opened, it's best to use the food within a reasonable time frame to maintain freshness and nutritional value, typically a few months.

Troubleshooting

Guinea pig is not eating the nuggets.

Try mixing the nuggets with other foods to encourage consumption. Ensure fresh hay and water are available. If the problem persists, consult a vet.

Soft stools or digestive upset.
