I was told when I got mine they must have good quality hay all the time, so I give it to them, as well as their veg. But there are more experienced folk here who will know more.

As i said on your other post:

Pellets are the least important part of their diet- make up around 5%, are they eating lots of hay and grass? as this makes up around 80% of their diet

Fruit shouldnt be given daily and its important to give them varied veggies

hay, hay and more hay...of the best that money can buy ! Also, go out in the garden and cut handfuls of long grass. There are also a variety of naturally growing weeks which guineas love !

I agree, hay is pretty central (as well as veg and herbs) to their diet O0

Sorry my post should have said 'weeds' and not 'weeks' !

I knew what you meant and to be honest didn't even notice what you'd put by mistake
