Best Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)-Rich Foods for Guinea Pigs
Ranked by vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid) content among foods safe for guinea pigs in the Creature Feast catalog.
#1
Broccoliper 100g raw: ~0.57mg pantothenic acidBroccoli is one of the better vegetable sources of pantothenic acid for guinea pigs. A small floret offered a few times per week provides a meaningful B5 contribution alongside Vitamin C and fiber. The name 'pantothenic' means 'everywhere,' and broccoli lives up to that by contributing to many nutrient needs at once.
#2
Cauliflowerper 100g raw: ~0.67mg pantothenic acidCauliflower provides moderate pantothenic acid and is a good rotational vegetable for B5 intake. A small floret two to three times per week is appropriate. Cauliflower's mild flavor makes it well-accepted by most guinea pigs.
#3
Timothy Hayper 100g dry: ~0.3-0.6mg pantothenic acidTimothy hay contributes baseline pantothenic acid that, along with cecal bacterial production and vegetable intake, covers daily needs. Because pantothenic acid is so widely distributed in plant foods, deficiency is rare on any varied guinea pig diet.
