An example might be the Guinea Pig: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=18+1800&aid=1630 Normal Feed Hay and pellets Guinea pigs should have hay available at all times. The best hay to feed your guinea pig is timothy or oat hay. Alfalfa hay is too rich in calcium and protein and should be given only sparingly. Fortified guinea pig pellets can be fed in small amounts in addition to hay. Abnormal Feed Good foods for guinea pigs include the outside leaves of cauliflower (but not the white 'flower'), split the stem of the leaf down the middle; stems of broccoli chopped into quarters lengthways are also enjoyed although they have little nutritional value; broccoli flowers, green or black cabbage, kale, chicory, carrots, parsnips, sweet corn outer leaves and the silk (sweet corn is fattening and overheating but makes a good winter food), raw beetroot, celery, cucumber, small amounts of parsley, small amounts of apple although it can cause mouth sores in susceptible animals; wild plants including plantain, golden rod, cleavers, yarrow and dandelion in a balanced salad - dandelion is a diuretic and can make their droppings soft if fed to excess. Nutrient Deficiencies Guinea pigs are unique among other small mammals in their dietary requirements, since they require Vitamin C. Like humans, they are missing an enzyme that is necessary for the body to make Vitamin C. Signs of a Vitamin C deficiency in guinea pigs can develop quite rapidly (within weeks) if they are being fed a deficient diet. These signs include: Loss of appetite Depression 19 Ruffled fur Weight loss Swollen and painful joints and ribs; lameness Poor bone and teeth development and a painful mouth Nasal discharge Bleeding gums and hemorrhages under the skin and into the joints Infections Some references to get started with are: (Nutrition) http://www.smallstock.info/info/feeding.htm http://www.holistichorse.com/Nutrition/ (Deficiencies and diseases) http://www.smallstock.info/info/health-nutrition.htm Type Of Animal:__Click here to enter text.
