Selective Guinea Pig Junior

Science Selective Cavia Junior – complete food for young guinea pigs

Science Selective Cavia Junior is a complete food for young guinea pigs up to 20 weeks old. The pellets are also suitable for pregnant and lactating guinea pigs, as these animals have different nutritional needs during this period compared to adult guinea pigs in the normal maintenance phase.

This junior food contains a higher protein content, added vitamin C, flaxseed, prebiotics, fennel, and dandelion. The pellets are monocomponent and extruded. This means that every pellet has the same composition, which limits selective eating and prevents your young guinea pig from picking only the tastiest pieces from the food.

• Guinea pig: suitable for young guinea pigs up to 20 weeks old. Also suitable for pregnant and lactating guinea pigs. The food contains extra protein and vitamin C and fits within a basic diet of good quality hay, vegetables, and daily monitoring of condition.

Are you looking for food for adult guinea pigs outside the junior, gestation, or lactation period? Then adult guinea pig food is usually a better fit.

Why junior food for young guinea pigs?

Young guinea pigs grow rapidly. During this phase, a diet is needed that matches their growth, development, and daily build-up. Science Selective Cavia Junior therefore contains more protein than many maintenance foods for adult guinea pigs. Vitamin C is also important, as guinea pigs do not produce this themselves and must obtain it through their diet.

The single-component pellets help limit selective eating. This is beneficial for young animals, as you want every bite to have the same nutritional value. Furthermore, the addition of fennel and dandelion gives the food a recognizable herbal base, without turning it into a mixed diet from which your guinea pig can pick out individual pieces.

How do you feed Science Selective Cavia Junior?

According to Supreme, Selective Guinea Pig Junior can be fed without restriction, provided you regularly monitor your guinea pig's weight and well-being. This is especially important for young guinea pigs, pregnant guinea pigs, and lactating guinea pigs, as needs can vary per animal and per period.

Always introduce new food gradually. Mix the new food with the old food for several days and slowly increase the ratio. This allows your guinea pig to get used to the new smell, taste, and composition.
