FEEDING GUIDE
According to our research (HayPigs!®), most vets recommend a portion size of around 1⁄8 of a cup per adult guinea pig, per day. This is a guideline and the actual amount needed can vary depending on activity levels and other factors. Don’t forget, guinea pigs should always have unlimited access to good quality feeding hay and a supply of fresh clean drinking water.
When changing your guinea pigs food, always ensure that you introduce the new food slowly. Gradually increase the new and decrease the old over a period of approximately 14 days. If switching from a muesli style diet, then increase the transition period to 21-28 days.
TOP TIPS
We’ve made portion controlling super easy with our new HayPigs!® Junior Food Tamer™ - Mini Food Bowl (which portion controls for you!). Simply fill it to the top for the ideal daily portion for two adult guinea pigs. And it’s tip-proof too! For information, see our product listing.
Want to change things up and provide you piggies with a feeding challenge while they enjoy their pellets? Well why not try giving them a portion of pellets in our HayPigs!® Circus Treat Ball™ - 3-in-1 Enrichment Toy? Great for mental stimulation and lots of fun!
