GP diet
1. Overfeeding with vege is the common mistakes that leads to deadly diarrhoe. Alwaysmaintain the following rule.Standard:For a 4 inch diameter bowl with 1.5 inch height, fill 3/4 of that bowl with chopped vegeand chopped fruit per guinea.This amount will be just right.2. Get a bottle of tablets Flavettes Vit C, 250 mg. Split one tablet into 4 parts. One guineawill require around 50 mg.
 
Crush that quarter part and sprinkle it on food daily. Guinea cannot manufacture Vit C,they need supplement.3. You can mix guava, apple, celeries, carrots, other greens like sawi, spianch...etc daily.Shred and chop them fine.4. Important, give them endless supply of good quality timothy hay.5. To prevent girdiasis, refill bottle with water that is boiled at least every other day.6. Once a year, deworm your guinea with Metronidazole (Flagyl). Can get from Klinik Haiwan Subang Jaya.
