Nutritional Analysis:

Guinea Pig Chow* should be fed to guinea pigs on a free-choice basis, unless a boby weight regulation program is required. Mature guinea pigs consume 25 to 40 grams per animal per day. Guinea pigs must have a daily dietary supply of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The practice of using fresh fruits and vegetables to supply supplemental vitamin C and water is optional although not recommended because they soon become spoiled, moody and unpleasant to the animals. A plentiful supply of clean, fresh water should be made available to the animals at all times.
