guinea pig diet

Guinea pigs are herbivores, they eat mostly vegetables and leafy greens. They need fiber, vitamins and minerals in their diet to stay healthy. They need to have unlimited amounts of hay and timothy. It should be offered free-choice throughout the day and its important because it helps wear down their continuously growing teeth. Vitamin C should be given to them everyday. That's because a lack of vitamin C makes the body more prone to diseases. Guinea pigs love vegetables and leafy greens (which should be well washed) but fruits are not good choice because of their high sugar. Too much can lead to diarrhea. But small amounts of citrus or high fiber fruits are good. Also food such as oats, seeds and nuts should be avoided because they are too high in carbohydrates and fat. Guinea pigs need to have access to fresh and clean water, sometimes when they eat moist food they need to drink less. All of these things are crucial in guinea pigs diet. And I think that guinea pigs diet is not too demanding.

the importance of bees

Bees are really important to environment. They are organized and they work hard. They are pollinators and take part in many aspects of ecosystem. Bees support the growth of many plants which are food source and shelter for other animals. They produce honey and humans are harvesting their honey. But in fact honey is made to feed colonies during cold winters. Honey is also consumed by birds, raccoons, possums and insects. Bees pollinate many plants thus plants can grow and produce food. They play a key role in food we eat and without them many plants would simply die. Bees have their hives but they also help build homes for many other animals. Also many tree species like wilows couldnt grow without bees who pollinate them. If not bees animals who depend on these different plants to survive would die off. These small creatures play a crucial role in our ecosystem and in our life. source;  Bee Information for Kids: Bumblebee & Honey Bee Facts (pestworldforkids.org)
