Why choose Beaphar Nature Guinea Pig Grain-Free?

Many guinea pigs have clear preferences. With a mixed diet, they can pick out exactly the favorite parts and leave the less popular pieces behind. With an all-in-one pellet, your guinea pig gets the same composition with every bite. This provides more peace of mind during feeding and makes it easier to see if your guinea pig is eating well.

The fiber-rich base with timothy hay and herbal hay fits well into the daily diet of guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have a high need for fiber and must be able to chew throughout the day. Hay remains the foundation in this regard, but a good pellet food helps to supplement the daily nutrients in a clear and organized manner.

The added vitamin C is an important benefit of guinea pig food. Guinea pigs cannot produce vitamin C themselves and are therefore dependent on their diet. That is why you should always combine these pellets with unlimited hay and suitable vegetables daily.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Guinea pig: suitable as a complete pellet food for adult guinea pigs. Use the pellets as a weighed daily portion alongside unlimited hay, daily vegetables, and fresh drinking water.

This food is specially formulated for guinea pigs. For rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, it is preferable to choose food specifically formulated for those species, because their nutritional needs are different.

Feeding & use

Give Beaphar Nature Cavia Grain-Free as a complete pellet food alongside unlimited hay. Hay always remains the most important part of the guinea pig diet. Give the pellets as a weighed daily portion, preferably divided over two meals per day.

• Provide unlimited hay daily.
• Give suitable fresh vegetables daily.
• Preferably divide the pellet portion over two feeding times.
• Adjust the amount based on weight, condition, age, activity, and hay intake.
• Always introduce feed changes gradually by temporarily mixing old and new feed.
• Check appetite, droppings, weight, and leftovers in the bowl regularly.
• Store the food in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.

The best routine is simple: unlimited hay as a base, fresh vegetables daily, a measured portion of pellets, and a clean water break. This keeps the menu clear and allows you to quickly see if your guinea pig is eating well.

Daily portion guideline

The correct amount depends on your guinea pig's weight, condition, and hay intake. Use the guideline as a practical starting point and then carefully monitor whether your guinea pig is eating properly and maintaining a healthy weight.

This table is a practical guideline per guinea pig. A guinea pig that eats plenty of hay, maintains a healthy weight, and leaves few leftovers is usually comfortable in the routine. Do you notice that pellets are consistently left uneaten or that your guinea pig's weight is changing? Then you can calmly adjust the portion.

Vitamin C in guinea pigs

Guinea pigs cannot produce vitamin C themselves. Therefore, vitamin C is an important part of their daily guinea pig diet. Beaphar Nature Cavia Grain-Free contains added vitamin C, so the pellet food helps to make the daily basics complete.

In addition, daily fresh vegetables remain important. Consider suitable types of vegetables that your guinea pig tolerates well. By logically combining pellets, hay, and vegetables, you build a clear daily routine in which fiber and vitamin C both have their place.

This formula is built around a fiber-rich base of timothy hay and herbal hay. Chicory and inulin support the intestinal flora, apple contributes to taste acceptance, and yucca schidigera is often used for its role in controlling stool odor.

Switch to Beaphar Nature Guinea Pig Grain-Free

Always switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of Beaphar Nature Cavia Grain-Free. This allows the digestive system to adapt to the new composition.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your guinea pig continues to eat well and has normal droppings.

During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, hay intake, and droppings. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a guinea pig-specialist veterinarian.

Good to know

Beaphar Nature Cavia Grain-Free is a complete pellet food, but that does not mean that pellets constitute the entire menu. For guinea pigs, unlimited hay remains the foundation. In addition, a measured portion of pellets, suitable vegetables daily, and fresh drinking water are part of a complete daily diet.

Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place. Check the smell, texture, and freshness of the pellets. This is especially important for guinea pig food containing vitamin C, as freshness and a tight seal help to preserve the quality as much as possible.
