Re: Cavy Nutrition Charts Discussion Thread

The great thing about this chart is that you can see exactly why you are supposed to feed each food with what frequency. So you can compare... red pepper has more than twice as much C as green (190 vs 80) and less than twice the sugar (4.2 vs 2.4). So 10g red pepper will have more C and less sugar than 20g green pepper. Also less calcium. So you can figure out which you'd rather feed... I feed red and green every day, probably about twice as much green as red. And I rarely feed fruit, maybe once every week or two. I think however it evens out for you is okay.
