Maintaining everyday digestive function

1. Fibre is the foundation — long-strand timothy hay keeps the gut moving naturally and helps maintain normal intestinal tract health.

2. Keep the diet stable — introduce new pellets or greens gradually over about seven days.

3. Microbial balance — Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus strains help support a balanced gut flora, while bromelain and papain support natural digestion.

4. Gentle handling — calm, quiet surroundings keep feeding rhythms steady.

5. Daily activity — safe floor time supports gut motility.

6. If appetite stays low or your guinea pig seems unwell, consult an exotic-pet veterinarian.
