Wombaroo Guinea Pig Milk Replacer - 190g

Wombaroo Guinea Pig Milk Replacer is a nutritionally balanced milk substitute for guinea pigs. Use for orphaned pups, large litters or when the mother’s milk is limited.

Guinea pig milk is high in protein with relatively low levels of carbohydrate. Guinea pigs are born well-developed (precocial) and have substantial stores of body fat, which they utilise for energy. Hence they do not have a particularly high fat requirement in their milk. However they require a high protein milk to sustain the rapid growth phase in the first three weeks of life. Guinea pig milk also contains high levels of Vitamin C which is an essential nutrient for growing pups. In guinea pigs a dietary deficiency of Vitamin C can lead to scurvy, causing problems with skin, joints and blood clotting.
