Your Guinea Pig's Diet!

Guinea pigs and ONLY have guinea pig food. Not rabbit food, hamster food, chinchilla food, and etc. ONLY GUINEA PIG FOOD. The reason why is that some pet foods may not have the right nutrients. This may be harmful to the guinea pig. Guinea pigs love apples. Give them lots of Vitamin C because guinea pigs are the only animals that don't produce their own Vitamin C. Also provide a good source of timothy hay daily. It is important to provide your guinea pig with fresh water daily.
