Pellets / Nuggets for Guinea Pigs

PELLETS - AWESOME FOR VITAMIN 'C', BUT GO EASY!

Because guinea pigs can't produce their own vitamin 'C', it helps to supplement their diet with a small portion of vitamin rich pellets each day. A good guinea pig food (often referred to as pellets or nuggets) will be specifically formulated to provide all of the vitamins and minerals your guinea pigs need.

Pellets should be placed in a non-tip bowl and carefully portion controlled. Our HayPigs!® Junior Food Tamer™ bowl provides an easy solution - one of these small bowls filled with pellets should be the right amount of daily pellets for two adult guinea pigs.

To keep your pellets fresh, we recommend storing them in an air-tight bag or container. Remember; even pellets have a 'use by' date, so do check this.

TOP TIP:

Be sparing! Guinea pigs love to nosh and will keep eating pellets beyond what is good for them (a lot like we humans really!). 1/8 of a cup per pig will suffice! If you notice your piggies getting a little 'rotund', reducing the amount of pellets they eat is a good starting point!

TOP TIP:

We tend to put our pellets out over night and remove them again in the morning. This encourages the pigs to focus their attention on more important foods like hay and forage during the day. Pellets should only actually account for about 4% of their daily diet.
