Guinea Pig Hay

Hay is crucial for your guinea pig’s digestive and dental health and should hence, make up 80% of your pet’s diet. Here at Pet Lovers Centre, we sell a diverse range of hay from brands such as Homefriends and Marukan to suit your cavy’s unique diet.

Hay plays an important role in assuring that your pet has a well-balanced diet. The ideal type of hay should be high in fibre and low in protein and calcium, as it helps to grind their constantly growing teeth while improving digestive health. Some of these hays include orchard grass and timothy hay. Hays high in protein and calcium should only be fed to baby guinea pigs that are still growing or pregnant ones. With such benefits, this source of food should be easily obtainable for your pet at all times.

On top of that, hay can also be used as a bedding as it provides a soft surface to lie on. Just note that once your pet relieves himself, you will have to replace the soiled stack immediately before he ingests it.
