How Niblee™ Is Designed to Be Fed

Niblee™ is formulated as a primary, nutritionally complete pellet designed to be safely consumed throughout the day as part of a hay-based diet, while supporting digestive stability, mineral balance, and consistent vitamin C intake.

How Guinea Pigs Are Designed to Eat

Guinea pigs are continuous grazers and hindgut fermenters adapted to eat small, frequent amounts of fiber-rich food throughout the day. Their digestive system depends on steady intake, predictable fermentation in the cecum, and consistent vitamin C availability to maintain gut motility, stool quality, and overall health.

• steady fiber intake from long-strand hay

• controlled fermentation speed in the cecum

• continuous chewing and gut motility

• balanced calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin C availability

Role of Niblee™ in the Diet

Niblee™ pellets are designed to serve as the nutritional foundation of the diet, providing:

• structured fiber for gut motility and dental wear

• balanced protein and amino acids

• corrected calcium to phosphorus ratios

• targeted vitamins and trace minerals

• stabilized vitamin C delivery to support daily requirements

• gut and immune support

Free-choice hay should always be available to support natural foraging behavior and additional chewing, but pellets do not need to be strictly limited when fed alongside unlimited hay and consistent vitamin C intake..

Free-Choice Feeding Approach

Niblee™ may be offered free-choice, allowing guinea pigs to self-regulate intake naturally throughout the day. Guinea pigs are continuous grazers, and their digestion performs best with steady intake rather than large, infrequent meals. Because the formula is fiber-forward, mineral-balanced, and free of rapidly fermenting sugars or disruptive starches, guinea pigs can consume Niblee™ without the instability commonly seen with restriction-dependent pellet feeds. When paired with unlimited long-strand hay, most guinea pigs naturally regulate intake, supporting predictable digestion, stable stool quality, and long-term gut health.

Approximate Intake Observation

When fed free-choice alongside unlimited hay, most adult guinea pigs consume a modest, steady amount of pellets throughout the day. Typical intake commonly ranges from 1/8 to 1/4 cup per guinea pig per day, though individual needs vary based on age, size, activity level, and life stage.

LIFE STAGE CONSIDERATIONS

• Growing, breeding, or high-activity animals may consume more

• Pregnant, nursing, or growing guinea pigs may require higher vitamin C and energy intake

• Seniors or less active animals may consume less

• Monitor body condition rather than chasing specific measurements

Clean, fresh water must always be available.

IMPORTANT FEEDING NOTES

• Niblee™ does not require pellet restriction under normal conditions

• Avoid mixing with sugary treats or starch-heavy supplements

• Transition gradually over 7–10 days when changing diets

• Supplement fresh vitamin C sources only if advised by a veterinarian

FINAL NOTE

Niblee™ was formulated so animals can eat naturally, freely, and consistently without digestive stress.

Feed freely. Feed confidently.
