XtraVital Guinea Pig Feed is an extremely palatable, well-balanced, premium feed. Guinea pigs have special nutritional requirements because they do not make vitamin C themselves. XtraVital Guinea Pig Feed is enriched with extra vitamin C. The varied composition of high-value ingredients ensures optimum acceptance. It has low fat content to prevent obesity. Alfalfa is added to stimulate the intestinal flora. The use of chelated minerals (minerals surrounded by a protein coating) improves absorption. XtraVital contains Echinacea, a plant extract that maintains a healthy immune system and together this feed ensures a lively and vivacious guinea pig with a beautiful coat and healthy skin.
How to use: Guinea pigs should be fed twice a day, since this corresponds with the guinea pig’s natural feeding behaviour in the wild. Your guinea pig will take to the feed straight away because it is so tasty. However, for the first few days, keep an eye on food intake, and mix in a little of the old feed if necessary. An average guinea pig eats about 40 grams of XtraVital each day. Give the amount of feed that the animal eats up completely in one day. If there is some feed left over, give a little less feed the next day. Repeat this until the ideal amount has been found. Fresh feed, fresh hay and fresh drinking water should be given every day.
