Feeding advice
Feed a small portion of nuggets alongside good-quality feeding hay and/or fresh grass, which should make up the majority of your guinea pigs’ diet and be available at all times. Hay and grass provide essential fibre and help wear down their continually growing teeth.
Offer a small handful of leafy greens each day. An occasional Excel Nature Snack can add variety and encourage enrichment. Fresh, clean drinking water should always be available.
When changing from a muesli-style food, introduce the hay-and-nugget feeding plan gradually over 14–28 days. Slowly reduce the muesli and increase the nuggets until the mix has been completely replaced.
Monitor your guinea pigs’ weight regularly and ask your vet for advice if you are unsure about their diet or weight.
