Wagg Twitch Guinea Pig Nuggets, 2kg

Product Information

The pellet-based food helps prevent selective eating, whereby a guinea pig eats its favorite ingredients and leaves the ingredients it doesn’t like. It contains extra vitamin C in a protected form (200mg/kg) which is essential to keep your guinea pig healthy, and linseed to help promote a healthy skin and lustrous coat. Like humans, guinea pigs do not make their own vitamin C, which means that it must come from their diet and is one of the nutritional reasons that we feed vegetables and leafy greens. Small Pet Select have a whole range of guinea pig products and have kindly given us a 15% discount code for you to use.

Vitamin A 23,500 iu, Vitamin D3 1,700 iu, Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol acetate) 95 mg, Vitamin C (ascorbyl monophosphate) 300 mg, Iron Sulphate Monohydrate 30 mg, Calcium Iodate Anhydrous 2. The food is pellet based, though, and does contain 400mg of vitamin C per pound, which is the recommended level for cavies. This is higher than the recommended 18%-20% and it means that could lead to constipation or diarrhoea in your guinea pig.

Alfalfa meal, whole wheat, wheat feed, soybean hulls, soybean meal, flaked peas, linseed, sugar beet pulp, soybean oil, fennel seeds, monocalcium phosphate, salt, calcium carbonate, dried dandelion. Vitamin D is especially important to indoor guinea pigs because they will not be getting any of these essential vitamins from the sun. Unlike some pets, guinea pigs need different types of food to complete their full diet, so it’s good to know exactly what they will need every day. If they leave food, make sure to remove it after a couple of hours so they don’t consume rotten or off food.

This 10kg bag of Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets include additional mint, which not only gives the food a more appealing smell and flavour for your guinea pigs but also helps with good digestion and to ensure a healthy digestive system. A little higher or lower than this should be safe for a healthy adult, and if your vet has advised a high or low fibre diet, you should follow these recommendations to ensure good health. Excel Burgess Guinea Pig Nuggets With Blackcurrant And Oregano are a pellet guinea pig food that contain 17% protein and 15% fibre, both of which are considered acceptable levels for healthy adults. Harringtons Optimum Guinea Pig Food is a pellet-based food consisting of 17% protein and 17% fibre, both of which are about reasonable for a guinea pig’s daily diet. If your guinea pig is an especially picky eater, you could be left throwing away a lot of the food, so it is better suited to good eaters that will eat every piece.

However, the food is expensive and only really necessary for those guinea pigs with special dietary requirements. Vitamin A 15,000 iu, Vitamin D3 1,500 iu, Vitamin E 90 mg, Vitamin C 250 mg, Zinc (Zinc Chelate of Amino Acid Hydrate) 20 mg, Manganese (Manganous Oxide) 30 mg, Zinc (Zinc Oxide) 30 mg, Iron (Iron Sulphate Monohydrate) 10 mg, Copper (Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate) 6. As well as having ongoing access to fresh water, a cavie’s diet should consist of at least 80% hay and around 8% vegetables, leaving 12% of their daily diet as uniform food. There are lots of dried food and muesli mixes for guinea pigs but these are generally not good for your cavies as they might contain additives and unhealthy foods that could lead to health issues for your small pet.
