What is Guinea Greens?

We created Guinea Greens by solving our own problem.

As a busy young family, we found the chore of buying, and preparing greens from the supermarket was just a hassle, we also felt that the quality of the greens were not always value for money.

But the light bulb moment really came when we booked a holiday, and needed some help looking after our little piggies! Asking a pet sitter to come to the house and prepare a weeks worth of veggies was just too time consuming, so we decided to pre-prepare individual sized portions for our pet sitter to simply open, and feed our little piggies whilst we were away. The feedback was amazing, and so Guinea Greens Co. was born!

Is Guinea Greens environmentally friendly?

Yes! All of our Guinea Greens boxes are made from 100% recycleable cardboard and all of our greens are provided to you in compostable bags, which means after use they can be composted in your waste disposble bin and will break down within 12 weeks.

Our Greens are also sourced from local farms and allotments this means we can ensure that local business are supported in the supply of organic goodness straight to your door.

Where do you get the greens from?

Our Guinea Greens are all sourced locally from organic farms, allotments and we also grow our own herbs, so you can be rest assured your Guinea Pigs are recieving the best quality organic ingredients to munch on. We feed Guinea Greens to our own little piggies who will happily attest to the munchable goodness!

How do you keep your greens fresh?

All of our organic greens are freshly prepped and packed into compostble bags on the same day, and shipped directly to you as soon as we receive your order. Once you recieve your greens you should keep them refrigerated and start feeding your guinea pigs immediatley.

Each bag will keep your greens fresh for 7 days. We recommend that you feed your Guinea Pigs the veggie bags as soon as they arrive to ensure they get the freshness they deserve.

Do I need to feed my Guinea Pigs vegetables everyday?

Guinea pigs need fresh vegetables every day, usually about 1 cup per guinea pig, which can be split into morning and evening feeds if desired. Guinea pigs' need fresh greens and vegetables every day to help them get enough vitamin C (they can't produce it themselves).
