Hi All, i am new here and new with cavies, but decent experience with other pet animals. I have a question here, i was always very reluctant to feed pellets, as difficult to know what is in them.
I would like to find a 100% natural diet, but i cannot see anything on that, always the pellets. Cavies dont naturally eat pellets in the wild, then, what can be fed in a natural way? Wild rice? some beans? (i am clear about fruits and vegetables) I would like to approach this side of the nutrition for pet animals and avoid commercial pellets ( i was very sucessful doing this with birds). Any idea? (>(on top of the above, pellets are not a alternative at all for me, as i am in Africa the only pellets available are for rabbits)
Thanks to all
Paulo
