Wagg Twitch Guinea Pig Nuggets, 2kg

Product Information

It is a very reasonably priced food that has been fortified with vitamin C, an essential ingredient in guinea pig food. It also includes vitamins A, D, and E. Vitamin D is especially important to indoor guinea pigs because they will not be getting any of these essential vitamins from the sun. This is a big bag of food, which means that you won’t have to buy it too often, but the weight of the food causes a lot of the pellets to crush, so expect some dust in the bottom of the bag when it arrives.

It has 16.3% protein and 9.1% fibre, both of which could do with being a little higher, but they aren’t considered dangerously low and can be supplemented by feeding appropriate vegetables and decent hay. If your guinea pig is not eating the pellets it may be they don’t like that particular brand. Try another good quality pellet food to see if it makes any difference. This 10kg bag of Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets include additional mint, which not only gives the food a more appealing smell and flavour for your guinea pigs but also helps with good digestion and to ensure a healthy digestive system. Guinea pigs are small, cute and like their food. We love our little pets and as their owners, we want to make sure they get the nutritional food that they need to stay healthy and happy. Unlike some pets, guinea pigs need different types of food to complete their full diet, so it’s good to know exactly what they will need every day.

The dry pellet food should supplement a guinea pig’s daily diet which should consist of good quality feeding hay, a cup of safe veggies and a daily portion of nuggets. How to introduce a new pellet food to your guinea pigs 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?

Buying your guinea pig food in bulk will always save you money. So if you have a numberof guinea pigs, we recommend you buy a much larger bag, providing you can use it within 3 months so it stays fresh. It consists of 17% protein and the same level of fibre, both of which are considered appropriate for a healthy adult guinea pig, and it has been fortified with additional vitamin C so that it contains 1,050mg/kg, so when combined with a good hay and supplemented with leafy greens, ensures that your cavie is getting the right amount of the essential vitamin. The food also contains prebiotics that further ensure good digestion.
