Have you ever wondered if a certain vegetable is good for your guinea pig, or how much Vitamin C it contains?
If so, be sure to take a look at the nutrition charts on Guinea Lynx, which contain a comprehensive list of foods that you can include in your cavy's diet. These useful charts offer a breakdown of sugar, Vitamin C, calcium and phosphorous values - the last two of which are particularly important especially if you have a pig who is prone to developing bladder stones.

Lastly, Guinea Pig Cages has an informative list of foods you should NOT feed your guinea pig. The list of poisonous plants is longer than you'd expect, but can be avoided with a little care.

We reference these on a frequent basis and thought it would be helpful to pass them along. Happy munching!
