Some calcium is needed in your guinea pig's diet, but calcium-rich foods, such as alfalfa, must be fed sparingly to avoid getting a surplus of calcium in your guinea pig's system. In my herd, alfalfa is an occasional treat; we rely on Timothy-based pellets, as well as Timothy and grass hay.owever, fruits, due to a higher sugar content, would not be a main staple in a guinea pig's diet, so the risk is lower than with vegetables. Fruits that are particularly low in calcium include peaches, blueberries, and bananas.
Alfalfa hay can be given to young guinea pigs, pregnant, nursing or malnourished adults. But because of its high calcium content, alfalfa should be reserved as a treat for the average adult guinea pig. Excess calcium could contribute to the formation of bladder stones in older guinea pigs.ach guinea pig will eat approximately 1/8 cup of pellets a day when also fed adequate hay and fresh vegetables. Purchase pellets in small quantities and store in a dry cool dark place to preserve the potency of the C (look for a pellet with an expiration date to check for freshness).
