Best Vitamin K-Rich Foods for Guinea Pigs
Ranked by vitamin k content among foods safe for guinea pigs in the Creature Feast catalog.
#1
Kaleper 100g: ~389mcg vitamin K1Kale is one of the richest vitamin K sources among guinea pig-safe vegetables. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. A small leaf provides well above daily requirements, so even occasional servings keep vitamin K stores replenished.
#2
Spinachper 100g: ~483mcg vitamin K1Spinach contains outstanding vitamin K — one of the highest concentrations in any vegetable. However, its oxalates limit feeding frequency for guinea pigs. A small amount once or twice a week supplies abundant vitamin K without excessive oxalate exposure.
#3
Parsleyper 100g: ~1,640mcg vitamin K1Parsley is exceptionally rich in vitamin K and guinea pigs tend to love its fresh flavor. Limit to a few sprigs per serving due to its high calcium and oxalate content, but even small amounts deliver significant vitamin K.
#4
Broccoliper 100g: ~102mcg vitamin K1Broccoli is a reliable vitamin K source with moderate calcium and good fiber. It can be fed more frequently than spinach or parsley, making it a practical everyday contributor. Florets contain more vitamin K than stems.
#5
Cilantroper 100g: ~310mcg vitamin K1Cilantro provides good vitamin K in a format that most guinea pigs happily accept. It is lower in calcium than parsley, making it a safer daily herb option. A small handful mixed into the vegetable bowl adds flavor variety and nutritional value.
