Should you have any questions, you can use the Pets Forums to post your queries and give advice. It's the least you can do. Give your guinea pig plenty of hay. Keep your guinea pig sleek.
Pellets are high in protein and calories.
So, if you don t want an aging pet to get fat, cut down on the amount of pellets while continuing to feed timothy hay. Chewing is healthy. Another reason to hand out the hay is that chewing hay keeps the animals teeth healthy. Guinea pig teeth, like rabbits teeth, grow throughout their lives and need to be ground down. While treats and chew sticks make good toys, they don t wear down the teeth properly.
