After doing a lot of research and comparing prices and nutrition on everything, it is very clear the diet of a guinea pig should be HAY (80percent) and pellets and veggies make up the rest. Now where I am from the only hay I can get is oaten which with my research is a hay guinea pigs can eat without the added calcium or beinglucerne based!
so will be giving piggies tons and tons of hay (OATEN IS THE BEST IN MY AREA AND PRICE) as thats what they should be also eating. With the pellets the best ones I can find in my price range and local are the Laucke Mills – Poultry Food Range as they are the only ones with added VitC (will be giving 1/8 cup each as recommended) however they is also this mix and I have been given mix opinions on whether pellets are better then mix as this mix has less protein so wouldnt that be better?Laucke Mills – Poultry Food Range Both have the VitC so can u guys help me, these are the only ones with the VitC and in my price range. I have also noted that Vetafarm pellets are made from similar things also so that has helped me pick these two options from the plain pellets from the petshops and not getting any plain rabbit ones.
And veggies, now I have done so much research and really guinea pigs do not find these in the wild as they come from woolies (farms) and would it be okay to feed them HAY (80%), pellets 1/8cup each, water, veggies 3-4times a week and grass and plants they can eat on the days without the veggies for veggies are very expensive. I will be growing my own herbs they can eat, grasses and might try veggies like baby carrots and capsicum since they are every day veggies piggies can have.!
