| MAIN CAVY DIET |
| Guinea pig pellets should be your cavy's main food source. They should NOT be fed rabbit pellets. Cavies cannot manufacture their own vitamin C; rabbits can. Rabbit pellets do not have vitamin C in them and feeding your cavy these pellets will cause them to develop scurvy (a disease resulting from lack of vitamin C). A cavy's diet should not consist of mostly treats/veggies. They may become obese which is not healthy. Cavies should always be supplied with fresh pellets every day. |
