Guinea Pig Daily Diet Guide
Feeding your guinea pig correctly is essential for its health, digestion, and dental hygiene. They require a diet high in fiber, primarily from hay, with a moderate amount of pellets and fresh vegetables.
🍀 Hay (Timothy or Meadow):
Your guinea pig should eat hay equivalent to at least 10% of its body weight daily. Hay keeps their digestive system running and teeth trimmed.
🥕 Fresh Veggies:
Leafy greens like romaine lettuce, coriander, or bell pepper should be included daily — ideally 10% of their body weight.
🥣 Pellets:
Guinea pig-specific pellets should make up a smaller portion of their diet. About 2–3% of body weight daily is enough.

⚠️ Always avoid iceberg lettuce, sugary fruits in excess, and food high in calcium for adult guinea pigs. Fresh water must be available at all times.
