When purchasing guinea pig pellets, look for quality ingredients without additives, artificial colorings or seeds that could pose weight gain or choking hazards.
Choose a pellet that contains vitamin C to ensure your guinea pig receives enough each day through their food. Since their bodies cannot produce it naturally, making sure they get sufficient amounts through diet is paramount to their wellbeing.

Feed your guinea pig pellets approximately once every eight days; however, this amount may fluctuate based on its age, gender and strain. Pregnant or nursing female guinea pigs might require even higher daily feeding amounts; consult your vet about what would provide optimal nutritional balance for them.
Pet stores frequently stock treats for guinea pigs, such as honey sticks, seed sticks and yogurt drops containing too much sugar and fat that can contribute to obesity as well as being potential choking hazards.
