Why I made this

The chart I wish I’d had.

“When I brought home my first two guinea pigs, the pet store didn’t even mention that they need unlimited hay.”

I used to second-guess every snack: too much sugar? Too much calcium? This chart sorts common foods by what matters most, so you can skip the stress and enjoy every moment with your piggies.
