User questions & answers

Question:	Why does the back-side of the package claim this is "alfalfa-free", and then the ingredients include "alfalfa meal
Answer:	It’s small, not a lot of room to move.
Question:	Is this just pellets or does it have extra treats inside
Answer:	Hi Our guinea pig is about 10" long She fits in there great! Lots of more room. She loves her sleeping habit which is covered over with wood , little round door to enter and exit. We also purchased a wire pen to have much room to play. So it's big enough for comfort, sleep, if you have to lock it. But not for the entity of living alone. Hope this helps
Question:	How many pounds is this bag? (Or other unit of measure
Answer:	No wire floor. The removable tray on the bottle is full metal and there is no wire crate on it.
Question:	Are they discontinuing the Fruit and Veggie version? It jumped from $4.50 to $17.50 overnight which is ridiculous
Answer:	Hi. I just bought this item a few weeks ago. I don’t know why you would need an additional bottom. It slides out easily for cleaning. I put two baskets with shredded paper liner in the hidden area and our baby rabbit uses these exclusively. I actually put a padded bathroom mat in the bottom of the rest of the cage and she has yet to have an accident on it. It’s saving me lots of $ not refilling the entire bottom of the cage every time I clean it out.

User questions & answers

Question:

where is this made

Answer:

I have purchased this in the past and used it successfully for my guinea pigs, but it really depends on how much they eat. My guinea pigs didn't eat a lot of pellets, but we give them fresh pellets every day, giving them roughly 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup each day. I would estimate 3-4 weeks, but that is a rough estimate. I moved on to larger bags (20-25 lbs) so I didn't have to purchase it so often. Hope that is helpful.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you feed this to two female chinchillas
Answer:	not sure--i've never had mice on purpose lol but it is made for guinea pigs which are small rodents that are a cousin to hamsters and hamsters are cousins to mice so i would think it would be ok--probably try a small amount and watch them for signs such as diarrhea excessive water drinking etc and discontinue at first sign--but more than likely it would be fine--our skinny pig (hairless guinea pig) loves this food except for the green pellets--it's the colorful part of the food he loves
Question:	Can you place an image with the ingredients or write in the description all the ingredients? Thank You
Answer:	Yes, this food will provide enough Vitamin C for your guinea pig. For more help contact Wild Harvest at [email protected].

How Selective Guinea Pig makes feeding simple

• Each mouthful contains healthy, natural and balanced nutrition, selective feeding is no longer a worry as kibbles provide everything they need
• Longer feeding time of a bigger portion means more of the day is spent feeding, this is good for the body and the mind as it mimics natural behaviour
• Natural flavours ensure that Selective is delicious without relying on unhealthy sugar, fruit syrups or molasses
• A shiny coat is one way that owners can identify if their pet is in good health. The omega-3 oils from linseed help regulate coat color, thickness and shine as well as a healthy skin
• High fibre levels and longer chewing time help ensure that teeth are kept trim and the digestive system functions correctly
• The stabilised Vitamin C in Selective is an essential. Like humans, guinea pigs can’t make their own Vitamin C and need a regular, source in their diet. With Selective, Vitamin C is proven to last until the best before date

Handling your Guinea Pigs

To ensure that your Guinea Pigs become tame and affectionate it is important that you handle them frequently and correctly. Picking up a Guinea Pig incorrectly could lead them being permanently frightened and may lead to them becoming aggressive.

Remember that most small animals are prey in the wild. So, if approached from above they’ll see a large shadow and become scared. They might run and hide or try to attack you.

The best way to pick up your Guinea Pig is to talk to it as you approach on the same level. Crouch and let it come to you, presenting the back of your hand for it to sniff.

Place one hand flat in front of your Guinea Pig and with the other hand gently scoop it towards you. Be sure to support its weight with one hand, while bringing the other over the top to make sure that if it begins to wriggle it will not fall.

Place it on your lap or hold it to your chest and slowly stand up. Talk to your Guinea Pig to calm and reassure it. A small treat will make it happy as well.

Housing and Hutches

In the wild, Guinea Pigs live in caves and burrows, spending the majority of their time foraging for food. Living in a hutch with a run allows your Guinea Pig to live outside and receive plenty of sunshine and fresh air every day.

Guinea Pigs need good, secure, roomy housing. Bought hutches and runs are not cheap but they can be perfect for your pet. Guinea Pigs naturally chew wood; so make sure that any wooden hutch you buy has been treated with non-toxic products.

You might know someone who could make one for you. A good hutch will have two compartments – one for the day and one to nest and hide in at night. The hutch should be placed in a position that is sheltered, out of direct sunlight. Extremes of temperature can cause stress that may result in discomfort or illness. In cold weather there must be adequate protection from draughts, wind and rain. Repositioning the hutch can make the most of winter sunlight, and remember to place the hutch on bricks or legs to avoid becoming damp during wet weather.

Hutches should be cleaned out on a regular basis. This is especially important in warmer weather in order to prevent flies being attracted to the hutch. In the wetter months, bedding can become damp and mouldy from extreme weather, so…

Every day

Remove any soiled bedding

Once a week

Remove all bedding.

Thoroughly sweep out all the soiled bedding. Rinse with warm water and mild detergent and wait until dry.

Spray inside of hutch with a safe cleaning product and wait until dry.

Replace with clean bedding (check for signs of mould etc. on bedding and discard if necessary
