Guinea pig's should be fed twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. There morning meal should inclued:

  • Guinea pig cerial mix (NOT RABBIT) which is available in pet stores. This is essentail as guinea pigs cannot produce their own vitimain C. (which this food provides).
  • Water should be available at all times either from a bowl or water bottle. Water bottles are better as sometimes guinea pigs will use bowl like toilets! Their water should be changd now.
  • Hay. This is also essential as guinea pigs find it very hard to digest whithout hay.

(In late Spring, Summer and early Autumn, guinea pigs should be

allowed outside in exercise runs if the weather is good. Water, shelter

and shade should be provided at all times.)

Their evening meal should inclued:

  • More cerial mix.
  • Another water change.
  • Vegetables, two different kinds. Such as: Carrots, Apples, Pears, Celery, Cucumber, Tomatoes, Parsley, Cauliflower, Parnsips, Beans, Sweed, Cabbage (but only in small amounts. NEVER FEED lettuce or patatoes.
  • Guinea pigs also love dandelions. Always make sure you know what your picking though! Applebranches are great for wearing guinea pigs teeth down.

Extras:

  • Salt and mineral licks are great for guinea pigs.
  • You can also get a variety of healthy treats which they love.

And finally:

  • Handle your guinea pigs daily.
  • Clean them out AT LEAST every seven days.
  • Pay attention to their claws and when they need trimming. If you cannot manage this task take them to a vet. NEVER USE HUMAN NAIL SCISSORS FOR THIS JOB!

I really hope all this information helped!
