How to change your guinea pigs food
Hi readers, I thought this would be a good post to do at the moment as I'm changing the piggies pellets.
The first thing that you have to think about is why are you changing their food? If the pet shop, rescue or previous owner gave them muesli food it is a good idea to change it unless they were feeding pellets as well.
Guinea pigs are quite fussy when it comes to food so you will want to gradually introduce the new food over a period of 10 days or more depending how much of the old food you have left.
The best Guinea pig pellets to choose are ones that are recommended by vets like Burgess Excel and Supreme Science Selective. If your local pet shop makes its own pellets compare the ingredients and price to a commercial brand like the ones I mentioned above. Generally the more expensive it is the better it is for your pet.
What's the best way to change your guinea pigs food?
The best way to change your piggies is to introduce it over 10 days a little bit at a time with their old food but it does depend on how much of their old food you have left but if after 10 days if your guinea pigs have been having muesli food and they have some left you can save it to use as treats.
