FAQs

How often should I feed my guinea pig these nuggets?

Follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging, usually based on your guinea pig's weight and activity level. Provide fresh hay and water daily.

Can I feed this to my guinea pig as their only food source?

No, these nuggets are a supplementary food. They should be part of a balanced diet that includes fresh hay, vegetables, and access to clean water.

Are these nuggets suitable for all guinea pigs?

These nuggets are suitable for adult guinea pigs. However, always consult with your vet if your guinea pig has any specific dietary needs or health concerns.

How should I store the nuggets?

Store the nuggets in a cool, dry place, and reseal the bag after each use to maintain freshness.

What if my guinea pig doesn't like the nuggets?

Try mixing the nuggets with your guinea pig's current food to introduce the flavour. You can also try slightly moistening the nuggets or offering them at a time when your guinea pig is hungriest. If your guinea pig still refuses to eat, consult with your vet.

What is the shelf life of the nuggets?

Check the expiration date on the packaging for the specific product. Usually, once opened, it is best to use the food within a reasonable timeframe, as directed on the packaging, to ensure freshness and nutritional value.

Troubleshooting

Guinea pig is not eating the nuggets.

Mix the nuggets with your guinea pig's current food to introduce the flavour. Ensure the nuggets are fresh and not expired. Consider adding a small amount of fresh vegetables to entice them.

Guinea pig has loose stools.

Reduce the amount of nuggets and introduce them gradually. Ensure the guinea pig is also eating plenty of hay.

Nuggets appear stale or dry.

Check the expiry date and storage conditions. Store the food in an airtight container.
