Do guinea pigs prefer pig food or fruit?

Guinea pigs should not eat pig food. It's designed for pigs, not guinea pigs, and is likely to be harmful to them.

Guinea pigs need a diet of hay, pellets, and fresh vegetables, with a small amount of fruit as a treat.

Here's why:

* Pig food is not nutritionally balanced for guinea pigs. It lacks the essential nutrients guinea pigs need for health, like vitamin C, and may contain ingredients that are harmful to them.

* Guinea pigs are herbivores and should not consume meat-based products like pig food.

Here's what to feed your guinea pig instead:

* Timothy hay: This should make up the majority of their diet.

* Guinea pig pellets: These provide supplemental nutrients.

* Fresh vegetables: A variety of leafy greens, vegetables, and herbs.

* Fruit: A small amount as a treat.

Always consult with a veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your guinea pig.
