Cavy Origins Senior is a lower-energy version of Vetafarm's guinea pig pellet, built for cavies that have slowed down. It carries vegan glucosamine for joint support and a reduced fat level, which is the right trade for a less active animal — but a senior guinea pig that is struggling to hold weight is better off staying on the adult Cavy Origins and being checked by a vet, since weight loss in an older cavy is more often dental or medical than dietary.
Sold as a 1.5kg bag, with stabilised vitamin C added as in the rest of the Origins range.
Benefits
- Vegan glucosamine — supports joint health and helps with arthritic symptoms.

- Nine-strain pre and postbiotics — supports digestive and immune function.

Feeding Guide
Vetafarm's recommended ratio for most senior guinea pigs is 20% pellets, 75% lucerne hay and 5% treats. Consult your vet if your cavy is having trouble maintaining weight. Store below 30°C away from direct sunlight and use within 30 days of opening. Best before two years from the date of manufacture.
For the hay side of that ratio, see Origins Mini Bale Lucerne Hay. For joint support in chew form, see Origins FlexJoint Chews.
