Your pets & product care
At the guinea pig wheekly a lot of care and time is taken into processing all the natural products we bring to people to ensure that everything is tip top quality and ready to be enjoyed by your pet!
Here is our general product care and safety advice though to ensure you enjoy all products in a safe and pet friendly way.
Forage ingredients used by the guineapig wheekly is sourced via reputable family farms specialised in small pet supplies in the uk. Many of which is grown in the uk, meaning we specialise in using product that's grown close to home supporting uk grown produce.
Dates and best before : Forage ingredients are all carefully dried many of which have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months. Ofcourse as a customer you will likely use this much sooner than that , we hope this gives abit of transparency! All product will come with a best before date ( meaning its not bad but its full flavour is there within the time given and could depreciate after).
Quality : All forage supply at the gpw is rotated every 6 to 8 months meaning that everything is as fresh as possible and we only buy what we need to avoid waste. This is a natural product it can be rare but natural parts of nature that grow amongst it can turn up in the blends. We do our best to remove these where they might turn up during packaging but if you do find anything abit unusual don't worry (bugs, feathers, pebbles etc can sometimes turn up but its nothing to worry about simply pop it in the bin).
Product weights : All product packaging has weight labels on it applied seperately, very often this is a base weight and we often give a little more for customers to account for varied mass such as flower buds vs petal weight for example.
Any small pet whether guinea pig or rabbit love forage! It's a complimentary part of any well balanced diet to be enjoyed in moderation alongside plenty of hay and fresh water.
Please monitor your pet when feeding forage though, some forages may contain but not limited to stems / twigs / sprigs / buds / seeds / flower husk and or varied size of dried vegetables naturally stuck together in the drying process.
Sometimes your pet may try to eat more than they can chew, so please monitor and be on hand to remove anything that may cause obstruction or difficulties digesting the food to keep your pet safe.
Any reactions to any forage please stop feeding immediately and discard. In some rare cases pet's can have allergies or sensitivities and it's important as a pet owner / guardian to tailor your pet's diet to prevent any health issues. Remember seek a veterinarians advice if you at anytime notice your pet becomes unwell or has any adverse reaction to any changes in diet.
