Question
Hi Andy,
I was wondering which fruit and which veggie is the best to feed a guinea pig. Also, which type of hay is best. Right now, I am feeding my adult male timothy hay. Is that okay? Another question is what type of bedding works the best?
Thanks, Emma

Answer
Hi Emma

A good variety of fresh foods so mix between lettuce, cucumber, cauliflower, carrot, apple, grape etc, in fact almost anything.

I feed normal grass hay but timothy hay is fine.

For bedding I use shredded paper as its free and lots of hay too.
