I'm getting a guinea pig soon and I was wondering what pellets are best for them. Also what is the best kind of lettuce for them.
Thanks

Thank you! can I feed red leaf and green leaf everyday? Its so hard to find what I should feed and when.My local guinea pig rescue uses Oxbow for pellets. I've heard a lot of good things from Oxbow, so I'd stick with them.
As far as lettuce, I've heard red leaf and green leaf are the best. Some people use romaine, but it may cause bladder stones in some piggies.

Basically, guinea pigs should be fed about a cup of fresh veggies daily, the majority of it should be red or green leaf lettuce and it should include a good vitamin C source, such as bell pepper.
