To help you learn more about feeding a healthy diet to your gorgeous guineas, we’ve put together some really useful answers from our nutrition team at Burgess, the pet care experts . What should a healthy diet for guinea pigs consist of?Commonly used plants for hay include mixtures of grasses such as ryegrass ( Lolium species), timothy, brome, fescue, Bermuda grass, orchard grass, and other species, depending on region. Hay may also include legumes, such as alfalfa (lucerne) and clovers ( red, white and subterranean). [2] Legumes in hay are ideally cut pre-bloom. Other pasture forbs are also sometimes a part of the mix, though these plants are not necessarily desired as certain forbs are toxic to some animals.

During the growing season, which is spring and early summer in temperate climates, grass grows at a fast pace. It is at its greatest nutritive value when all leaves are fully developed and seed or flower heads are just a bit short of full maturity. When growth is at a maximum in the pasture or field, if judged correctly, it is cut. Grass hay cut too early will not cure as easily due to high moisture content, plus it will produce a lower yield per acre than longer, more mature grass. But hay cut too late is coarser, lower in resale value and has lost some of its nutrients. There is usually about a two-week "window" of time in which grass is at its ideal stage for harvesting hay. The time for cutting alfalfa hay is ideally done when plants reach maximum height and are producing flower buds or just beginning to bloom, cutting during or after full bloom results in lower nutritional value of the hay.Griffin, J (2015) What is the best Hay for Guinea Pigs?

Along with the essential vitamins and minerals, the nuggets have amino acids, linseed and spinach.
