[Gpdd] CARE - Food and bedding choices?

[warmbreath at comcast.net]

High quality timothy pellet for guinea pigs is fortified with the long 
lasting version of Vit C and so they are important. Clearly an all grass, 
varied  hays, greens and veggies, with a few bits of real fruit could be a 
real diet but I prefer the hay and timmy pellet based diet with mixed and 
varied additional greens , hi roughage low sugar veggies and fruits to be 
the best for my piggies in my circumstances. Clearly a piggies can live in 
the wild on natural grasses with other stuff as taught by its parents, but 
we keep them indoors and have to choose.

If you need to, go ahead and  pick out the colored bits and seed, but I 
caution you if it's been open more than a month and doesn't say it has long 
lasting C supplements, just toss it. I think a company that puts the seed 
and bits into a pellet food is probably using a low quality pellet, but 
that's just my opinion.  Good luck. Sandy and Sammy
