What foods shouldn't I feed?

______________________________________________________

Foods to avoid include cereals, grains, nuts, seeds, corn, peas, beans, breads, biscuits, sweets, sugar, breakfast cereals, chocolate.

Don't feed your cavy on rabbit or rodent pellets.

If your rabbit is not fed on an adequate diet, signs of Vitamin C deficiency will occur about two weeks after the deficiency starts. The guinea pig will be lethargic and weak. It will eat less and lose weight and may have enlarged limb joints. It develops a rough hair coat, diarrhoea and produces a discharge from its eye and nose. Death usually occurs in about three to four weeks.
