Description
Guinea pigs need a high-fibre diet to support healthy bones and to help wear down their ever-growing teeth. Like humans, they can’t make their own vitamin C, so it needs to come from their diet to help maintain healthy cartilage, tendons and bones.
Vetafarm Cavy Origins is a vet-formulated, completely balanced diet for pet guinea pigs. It contains stabilised vitamin C and is made with Australian ingredients, with no by-products. Natural chicory root helps support gut health, and the food is extrusion cooked for easy digestion, good taste and food safety.
