[Gpdd] health - snacks

Hello Heather,
my vet claims the following about guinea pig nutrition:
All they really need is hay, hay, hay and hay again. Okay some vegetables
too, but they don`t need any supplements and especially none to grind their
teeth down. Because it´s not the material their chewing on, that keeps
their teeth to the right length, it´s the chewing as such. And that´s why
hay is the greatest meal of all, not only is it very good for their
digestive system, but also it keeps them chewing and therewith grinding
their teeth one on another, which keeps them the right length.
So feel free and happy to give your pig as much hay as she`ll eat, it´s the
best for her.
Kind regards
Georgina
