What should I feed a guinea pig?

Answer by  LMSmegal (81)

A healthy guinea pig diet includes a selection of timothy pellets, timothy hay and a variety of fresh, raw vegetables like cauliflower, corn on the cob, fresh cucumber, lettuce and melons. Your local pet supply store is the best location to find a quality guinea pig food that is healthy.
