Diet

     Hi! Cinnamon here. I just wanted to tell you some tips on you guinea pig's diet.

Diet

Our lives mostly evolve around our diet. We should have two cups of pellets a day. Popular brands include Oxbow, Kaytee, and Carefresh. Pellets should not have seeds or nuts in them, just pellets. Seeds and other miscellaneous items will get stuck in our teeth, and will most likely cause gum diseases. Many brands have a variety bag- with seeds mixed in. Just make sure that you get the correct type. 

We also need to have access to Timothy Hay 24/7. That helps wear down our teeth and it aids our digestive system so we don't get sick. If we don't get Timothy Hay we will stop eating because our digestive system doesn't work properly without it. We can become very sick and stop eating if we don't get Timothy Hay. Timothy Hay looks like this:

We also need two cups of veggies a day. Popular veggies that Rainy and I like include lettuce, cilantro, bell peppers, and kale. We eat many others. We can't manufacture our own Vitamin C, so we rely on veggies to give us Vitamin C. If you have any questions on what else we can eat, comment on this post!
