The Fruit \u0026amp; Flakes variety combines wholesome cereal flakes with real fruit — including dried fig and apricot — in a sugar-free recipe enriched with valuable vitamins including Vitamin C, which is essential for guinea pigs as they cannot synthesise it themselves.

Allow your guinea pig to gnaw freely at their own pace. Feed as a treat alongside a complete and balanced guinea pig diet including hay (unlimited), fresh vegetables and a quality guinea pig pellet or nugget. Treats should make up no more than 5% of daily food intake. Always ensure fresh water is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy do guinea pigs need Vitamin C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuinea pigs, like humans, cannot synthesise Vitamin C internally — they lack the enzyme needed to produce it from glucose. A Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) causes serious health problems including joint pain, poor coat condition, lethargy and immune suppression. Ensuring guinea pigs receive adequate Vitamin C through their diet is one of the most important aspects of their care. Fresh vegetables (especially bell peppers and leafy greens) should form the primary source, with treats like these Kräcker providing a supplementary contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat fruits are in the Fruit \u0026amp; Flakes variety?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fruit \u0026amp; Flakes Kräcker contains real dried fruit including fig and apricot, combined with wholesome cereal flakes. These natural fruit ingredients provide flavour, fibre and a source of natural sugars — all within a recipe that contains no added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the Kräcker baked three times?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitakraft’s triple-baking process creates a firm, dense crunch ideal for guinea pigs’ continuously growing teeth. Guinea pigs’ teeth grow throughout their lives and regular gnawing on fibrous and hard materials is essential for dental health. The Kräcker format provides a safe and satisfying outlet for this natural behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this sugar-free despite containing fruit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the Sugar Free Recipe label means no refined sugar has been added to the recipe. The natural sugars present come from the real fruit ingredients (fig, apricot) and are inherent to those ingredients. This is significantly healthier than treats with added sugar or glucose syrup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the case of 5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case of 5 × 112g packs (10 sticks total) offers better value per pack and ensures you always have a Kräcker ready for your guinea pig’s enrichment routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitakraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43315008766120,"sku":"C-4008239257482","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/7998\/4808\/products\/Vitakraft_Guinea_Pig_Fruit_Flakes_Kracker.jpg?v=1789635228","url":"https:\/\/timepaws.uk\/products\/vitakraft-kracker-fruit-flakes-guinea-pig","provider":"Time Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
