Treats:

  

These have been favorites with our guinea pigs perhaps they will be a hit with yours!

Just as when we humans pick up a snack it should be done occasionally and not be a staple in our diet so should it be with your guinea pig. These items should be an occasional treat not a staple. Overweight guinea pigs can suffer the same symptoms as humans when they are obese.
