Guaranteed Analysis / Nutritional Values

Here are key nutritional values (approximate / minimum‐maximum as per manufacturer specifications):

Feeding Guidelines

• Recommended for mature guinea pigs, generally those over 6 months of age. Not intended for young, pregnant, nursing or gestating guinea pigs, who need higher nutritional levels. 

• Suggested daily amount: ≈ 1/8 to 1/4 cup pellets per day, in addition to unlimited grass hay (such as Western Timothy, Orchard, etc.). 

• Always ensure fresh hay is available for fibre and dental health. 

Considerations & Warnings

• Because it’s lower in calcium and protein than alfalfa pellets, switching from an alfalfa‐based diet should be gradual to avoid digestive upset. 

• Ensure guinea pigs receive daily Vitamin C, as deficiency can lead to health issues. This food includes stabilized Vitamin C, but if consumption is low, extra supplementation may be needed. 

• Observe the animal’s weight and condition; adjust feeding if overfeeding or underweight.

• Store in a cool, dry place to preserve vitamin content and prevent spoilage.
