Wagg Twitch Guinea Pig Nuggets, 2kg

Product Information

It’s important to buy good quality pellet food for your guinea pigs as this will contribute to a healthy pet. Timothy hay based pellets are generally the best dry food for your guinea pigs. Of course, there will be other ingredients in these nuggets to also consider. You may notice that some of the brands called them “pellets” and others call them “nuggets” but they both refer to dry guinea pig food. Table of Contents Guinea pigs can’t eat hamster food for the same reason they can’t eat rabbit food. Any food that is made for a different type of pet or rodent whether it’s a hamster, chinchilla, rat or gerbil will not be suitable for your guinea pigs as they all have different dietary requirements.

Cucumbers are not toxic to guinea pigs and are, therefore, quite safe to feed. They are also low in sugar, which means that they should not cause your cavie to put on weight. However, they also have a high moisture content and are low in vitamin C. This means that while they can eat cucumber, most guinea pigs would benefit from being given better quality and more nutritionally beneficial foods instead. Feed no more than a slice or two, two or three times a week. Conclusion Guinea pig food and rabbit food is formulated for the specific pet’s dietary needs so you should not give your guinea pig any food that is designed for a rabbit. It consists of 16% protein, which is slightly lower than ideal, as and 19% fibre, which makes this a high fibre food that complements a regular supply of hay and a good variety of leafy greens throughout the week. Wagg only has 250mg/kg of vitamin C, which is about half of what would be considered ideal, so you may need to provide a supplement or ensure that you feed vegetables that are high in this essential vitamin.As a result, Oxbow Essentials is made up of 14% protein, which needs to be higher, and 27% fibre, which is a lot higher than recommended levels for a healthy adult. The food may be ideal if you have been advised to put your cavie on a high fibre diet.

Twitch Guinea Pig Nuggets are a complementary feed for guinea pigs. Guinea pigs should have constant access to fresh hay or grass and water at all times. Hay is essential to provide them with a complete diet and help them maintain healthy digestion, promote natural tooth wear and provide environmental enrichment. Providing twigs and branches for them to gnaw on from trees such as apple, willow and hazel, can also help keep their teeth healthy and strong. Because your guinea pig needs just a small amount of pellet food, you only need a small bowl for their daily pellets. But make sure you buy one that is non-tip or the food will end up on cage floor. Timothy hay, soya bean hulls, flaked peas, ground soya bean meal, ground dried locust beans, pea flour, whole brown linseeds, soya bean oil, calcium carbonate, hydrolysed yeast, Yucca extract. Vitamin A (retinyl acetate) 25,000 iu/kg, Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 2,000 iu/kg, Vitamin E (dl Alpha tocopherol acetate) 125 mg/kg, Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid monophosphate) 1,050 mg/kg, Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate 28 mg/kg, Iodine (Calcium lodate anhydrous) 2.34 mg/kg, Sodium Selenite 0.22 mg/kg, Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate 133 mg/kg, Manganous Oxide 16.1 mg/kg, Zinc Oxide 139 mg/kg.We recommend putting a little of the new food in their bowl with some of the original food. Each day, increase the amount of new food and reduce the amount of the previous food you used until you are just using the new pellets. Make sure the total amount they get is still an eighth of a cup per piggy so they don’t consume too much. I’ve run out of pellets – what should I do? Hay is just dried grass. Unless you have a large garden and can provide your guinea pig with plenty of fresh cuttings every day, you will likely have to feed some form of dry hay. Although there are several hays available, including meadow hay and alfalfa hay, Timothy is considered the best for your pet. It has the right nutrients and an appealing texture. Not only does it provide the high fibre that your cavie needs, but its consistency and texture mean constant gnawing, which will help grind down and maintain teeth. Our combination of vitamins A, C & E with carefully selected trace elements help to support a healthy immune system. Small Pet Select sells bags up to the weight of 50lb (22.7kg) which is huge! So this is a great way to buy top quality pellet food for your guinea pigs for a reasonable price.
