GuineaPig
Guinea pigs don't usually overeat, but it's important to provide the proper balance of pellets, hay and fresh vegetables.
About 1/8 cup of pellets once a day, supplemented by hay and fresh vegetables as described below, will be enough.
Timothy hay: Provide an unlimited quantity of fresh timothy hay every day. Guinea pigs need continuous access to hay to aid their digestion and limit the growth of their teeth.
Fresh vegetables can be offered once a day and should be equivalent to about one cup total per guinea pig per day. Leafy greens like romaine lettuce, spinach, kale or parsley should comprise the bulk of your pig’s fresh produce. Add carrots, zucchini and sweet potato once or twice a week.
Fruit works well as an occasional treat that is offered once a day or several times a week. Keep the portion size small since fruit is high in sugar; a small wedge of orange or apple, several blueberries, or a thin slice of banana is perfectly adequate. Introduce new fruits and veggies gradually to avoid diarrhea. If your guinea pig develops loose stool, reduce the amount of fresh produce for several days, then reintroduce it in very small portions.
For a special snack, try mixing some rolled oats into your guinea pig’s pellets
Hedgehog
Hedgehogs need a diet high in protein and low in fat, similar to the ratio in the wild where they feed primarily off insects. Hedgehogs like variety, so incorporate small amounts of safe snack foods listed below into their meals from time to time.
Meats and fish: Chicken, Salmon, Tuna. Vegetables (Usually cooked): Broccoli, Sweet potato, Asparagus, Radish, turnip, Green pepper, Carrot. Fruit: Apple, Banana, Cherry, Pears, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Watermelon, Papaya, Mango, Peaches, Plum, Strawberries, Cranberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Blueberry (without skin)
Not all hedgehog foods are made for all types of hedgehogs. Make sure that the type of hedgehog food you buy is appropriate for your species of hedgehog (In most cases, pet hedgehogs are African Pygmy Hedgehogs.)
