The biggest evil doer for bladderstones is alfalfa. Cut all of it out
of the diet. If you can get your hands on Oxbow's Cavy Cuisine that's
your best bet for pellets. If not try and find another guinea pig
pelleted food that is based on Timothy Hay.
Treats that are high in calcium include: dandelion, parsley, and
dill. Spinach is also bad for stones because it has oxalic acid which
can contribute to them. If you are feeding your guinea pig petgrass,
find out what it is really (what type of grass) and check the mineral
content.
