[Gpdd] [Care} Pregnant Guinea Pig and Pellets

[Evelyn Baker]

I just wanted to post a note that while timothy based pellets are the  
best food for adult guinea pigs. Pregnant and lactating sows need  
more calcium and there for should be on an alfalfa based pellet. Also  
guinea pigs under a year old need the extra calcium for strong bones  
and teeth.

My Phoebe was on Oxbow pellets her whole life, I used the alfalfa  
until she was a year and switched her to the timothy after that.
