Description
Nutrazu® Guinea Pig Diet is a complete life-cycle diet formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of guinea pigs during growth, reproduction, and maintenance. The life-cycle stage of the animals determines the amount to feed.

Features and Benefits
  • Complete feed eliminates the need for supplements – provides the nutrients needed to keep animals in good condition during reproductive stages such as breeding, lactation and late gestation, although it is always recommended for the animals' welfare to supply daily greens.
  • Stabilized vitamin C – will remain viable within 270 days of date of manufacture (shown on tag).
  • Pellet – easy to feed; easy to adjust amount being fed depending upon individual animal needs.
Product Form
  • Pellet size: 5/32" diameter x 1/2" length.
           20 kg. net weight paper sack.

Ingredients
 Dehydrated alfalfa meal, dehulled soybean meal, ground corn, ground soybean hulls, wheat middlings, ground oats, soybean oil, cane molasses, dicalcium phosphate, ground wheat, dried whey, calcium carbonate, salt, magnesium oxide, l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), DL-methionine, choline chloride, vitamin A acetate, dried yucca shidigera extract, cholecalciferol (source of vitamin D3), d-alpha tocopheryl acetate (source of vitamin E), folic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride, calcium pantothenate, thiamin mononitrate, nicotinic acid, cyanocobalamin (source of vitamin B12), riboflavin, cobalt carbonate, manganous oxide, zinc oxide, ferrous carbonate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite.

Feeding Directions
Guinea pigs also demand a continuous supply of clean, fresh water. The practice of using fresh greens to supply water is optional. The feeding of greens is recommended, however, to keep the animals content and acclimated to normal feeding patterns.

Keep Nutrazu® Guinea Pig Diet available to animals on an ad libitum basis in a self-feeder. A bowl is impractical, as the animals are prone to sit on it while eating, contaminating food. Nutrazu® Guinea Pig Diet should be fed within 270 days of the date of manufacture.
