A Guinea Pigs main diet should consist of a constant supply of good quality grass based hay such as Lucerne or Timothy grass hay and water. Guinea Pigs can not produce their own vitamin C and so either need a diet to cater to this or they need to be provided with Vitamin C supplements. Supplementing your Guinea Pigs diet isn't necessary if you are feeding it hay and a good quality Guinea Pig food.
