Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus) are medium-sized rodents that are an excellent choice for feeding larger snakes. While not a regular feeding option, they are particularly valuable during specific conditions. These rodents are ideal for times when snakes are in a vulnerable, underweight state or shortly after laying if the female requires additional nutrients. Guinea Pigs offer a rich source of fat, protein and essential nutrients, making them an optimal choice for temporary dietary supplementation.
