Balanced Nutrition for Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are herbivores with sensitive digestive systems that depend on a steady supply of fibre. Their digestive systems are adapted to processing plant material throughout the day.

AVI Delights Guinea Pig Food 1kg contains a mixture of plant-based ingredients and fortified pellets developed to provide nutritional variety.

The specially formulated pellets supply vitamins, minerals and amino acids that contribute to daily nutritional requirements.

Because guinea pigs can selectively eat their favourite ingredients from mixed feeds, it is important to monitor what your pet actually consumes. A varied mix should not replace a suitable hay-rich diet.

Why Fibre Matters

Fibre plays an essential role in maintaining healthy intestinal movement and supporting normal digestion.

Guinea pigs also have continuously growing teeth. Chewing long-stem hay encourages natural dental wear and helps maintain normal tooth function.

AVI Delights Guinea Pig Food 1kg should therefore be offered alongside unlimited good-quality grass hay rather than used as the sole source of nutrition.

For additional digestive support when recommended by a veterinarian, consider Protexin Soluble, a multi-strain probiotic powder suitable for rodents.

Vitamin C and Guinea Pig Health

Unlike most other small mammals, guinea pigs cannot produce their own vitamin C. They must obtain this essential nutrient through their daily diet.

Vitamin C contributes to:

• Normal immune system function.
• Healthy collagen formation.
• Skin and connective tissue maintenance.
• Normal tissue repair.
• General health and wellbeing.

Guinea pigs should receive appropriate vitamin C-rich vegetables daily, such as red or green bell peppers.

Important: The exact vitamin C concentration of AVI Delights Guinea Pig Food 1kg has not been confirmed from published product specifications. Check the packaging to determine whether the feed provides sufficient vitamin C, and consult your veterinarian if additional supplementation is needed.

Feeding Guidelines for AVI Delights Guinea Pig Food 1kg

Feed as a measured part of your guinea pig’s daily diet, together with unlimited good-quality hay, suitable fresh vegetables and clean drinking water.

Recommended Feeding Routine

1. Unlimited grass hay

Provide constant access to good-quality grass hay. Hay should make up the majority of your guinea pig’s daily food intake.

2. Measured guinea pig food

Serve an appropriate portion of AVI Delights Guinea Pig Food 1kg according to the packaging instructions and your guinea pig’s individual nutritional requirements.

3. Fresh vegetables

Offer a selection of washed, guinea pig-safe leafy greens and vitamin C-rich vegetables daily. Bell peppers are an excellent option.

4. Clean drinking water

Provide fresh, clean drinking water at all times and clean drinking containers regularly.

5. Gradual food transitions

When introducing a new feed, gradually mix it with your guinea pig’s existing food over approximately 7–10 days.

6. Monitor feeding habits

Watch for selective feeding, changes in appetite and abnormal droppings. If your guinea pig stops eating or producing droppings, seek urgent veterinary attention.

Note: The manufacturer’s exact daily gram recommendation has not been verified. Follow the instructions printed on the packaging.

Creating a Healthy Guinea Pig Environment

Proper nutrition is only one part of responsible guinea pig care. A clean, dry and comfortable enclosure contributes to your pet’s everyday wellbeing.

Guinea pigs benefit from spacious housing, suitable bedding, hiding areas and companionship from other compatible guinea pigs.

Regularly remove soiled bedding and wash food bowls and water containers.

For disinfecting suitable cages and enclosure equipment, explore F10 SC Vet Disinfectant, available from Keen Pets.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure treated surfaces are safe and dry before returning your pets.
