Guinea Pig Reptile Diet Guidelines

For guinea pigs, some foods are fine but should only really be eaten in moderation. Fruit, for example, is quite sugary and acidic, and can result in painful little sores around the guinea pigs mouths if fed to them too often

The preferred basic diet for guinea pigs is unlimited amounts of timothy or other low-calcium hay, supplemented with smaller amounts of commercial, high-fiber, timothy-based guinea pig pellets.

When should guinea pigs eat, and what should you feed them? Plan out their diet and keep a schedule to keep these small pets healthy.
