One of the best pellets out there for young guinea pigs (under 6 months of age)
I got this for my guinea pig who was estimated to be under 6 months at the time. Over the years, since I got my first guinea pig (I got my first guinea pig in the summer of 2014), I have found through research, that this is one of the most highly recommended pellets for young guinea pigs. I find that oftentimes, my guinea pigs WILL prefer pellets that have colored bits, or even dehydrated veggies, mixed in. However, that is not necessarily what is best for them. Many times, pellets with colorful/dyed pieces mixed in tend to be the equivalent of junk food.Dehydrated peas, which are mixed into some pellets, contain loads of calcium and feeding too many can lead to piggies developing problem with bladder stones later on. Carrots are fine here and there, but they can contain larger amounts of sugar than you’d want to feed on a regular basis so that is something to think about when selecting a brand of guinea pig pellets.If you are feeding your guinea pigs the recommended diet of unlimited hay, 1 cup of veggies daily, and 1/8 cup of pellets, then a pellet like this one is all you need. Oxbow also makes pellets for adult guinea pigs which are Timothy hay-based. Adult guinea pigs do better on a Timothy based pellet as alfalfa contains high levels of calcium, which can also lead to stones.All that being said, I recommend this food for young guinea pigs. If you are currently feeding a different brand with colorful bits, then you can slowly transition them to this, or something comparable, by slowly mixing some in with their old food until they are completely switched over. They may snub it at first (mine did), but as long as they are getting unlimited hay and their daily serving of veggies, they should be fine until they start eating these pellets. I encourage you to research the foods you are providing your guinea pig(s) so that you don’t have to spend loads of money on vet bills in the future. I am only saying this from experience. I currently have a guinea pig who is recovering from issues with bladder sludge (possibly genetic, possibly from too much calcium intake) and it has been a long and expensive ordeal.

Best Guinea pig food
I have always used this for my pigs as a main source of food. I add do add suplementos to it dried herbs and hays. They love it and it is always consistent and I can buy it in bulk saving trips to store. My pigs have always had nice coats and live much longer than the expected age could be the food could be I have got ones who hit the genetic lottery but not going to mess with a good thing

My three baby piggies love this stuff. They were initially fed adult pellets but when offered these instead, they switched quickly. I think they struggled with the adult pellet because they were much bigger. These are small pellets and they don’t eat much anyway so this will last them a very long time.
