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.
Most guinea pig pellets are alfalfa based. Alfalfa pellets are suitable for young, growing and pregnant guinea pigs. After your guinea pig is six months or more old and fully developed (more), a timothy based pellet, which provides less calcium, may be a good choice.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).
