Frequently Asked Questions
What should guinea pigs eat daily?
Guinea pigs need unlimited timothy hay (80% of diet), 1/8 cup of quality pellets, 1 cup of fresh vegetables (bell peppers, romaine lettuce, cilantro), and fresh water daily. They also need 10-30 mg of vitamin C since they cannot produce it themselves.
Do guinea pigs need vitamin C supplements?
Yes! Guinea pigs, like humans, cannot synthesize vitamin C and must get it from diet. Bell peppers, kale, and parsley are excellent sources. Vitamin C drops can supplement if dietary intake is insufficient. Deficiency causes scurvy.
