Best Answer

Fresh vegetables and pellets. Make sure you are supplementing their diet with vitamin c rich foods, since they do not make their own vitamin c. (carrots, red peppers, etc.) Give them fresh, purified water, and make sure they have timothy hay, which is crucial to their digestive process.
