how much of this do i give my guinea pig in a day?
Answer by ChewySep 30, 2020
Feed free choice to guinea pigs, along with plenty of fresh clean water. Supplemental food items may be provided but should not make up more than 20% of the total diet. Care should be taken to choose appropriate supplemental food items. Mature guinea pigs may benefit from higher fiber, lower protein food items (e.g., grass hay), while growing, gestating, or lactating guinea pigs may benefit from higher protein food items (e.g., alfalfa hay). Guinea pigs may be provided vegetables (predominantly dark leafy greens) and limited fruit (less than 5% of total intake) to provide enrichment.

Does this pellets contain vitamin C?
Answer by ChewyMar 27, 2022

Answer by ChewyDec 19, 2022

Answer by ChewySep 08, 2021

Guinea pig food

Better value than small specialty bags. My pigs do not like all the Gourmet pieces in the Specialty bags.

brown pellets

I was trying to switch from oxbow to mazuri based on vet recommendation. The pellets are brown not green, as I expected a little green since they are hay based. They smell like dog food and are not appealing at all. My 3 guinea pigs won’t go near the bowls. Did I get a bad, stale bag?

The Pigs do not care for these

We were searching for an alternative pellet, having looked at the options and brands and comparing ingredients we purchased a large bag as the reviews were mostly very positive. Unfortunately our little herd of piggies do not like this brand, their bowls stay full or they will flip them to show their disapproval. I see based on the reviews others pets like this brand but it didn’t work for our guys.

Mazuri vs oxbow

Just started mazuri. I had been feeding oxbow but due to increase in price I had to find something else. My piggies really seem to be enjoying mazuri food.

Happy Piggies and Bunnies

Both my Guinea Pigs and Bunnies enjoy these great, reasonably priced Mazuri Guinea Pig Timothy Pellets. Love that they are available in a large size bag. Shipping was quick.

Mazuri is Best Feed and Best Price

I am a SKINNY (Hairless Exotic) Guinea Pig breeder and my herd loves Mazuri pellets. These piggies are expensive costing from $125 to $325 and I have never lost a pig on this feed. They go on ground transport across the USA and need to be healthy and hefty to handle transport stress since they are the smallest variety of guinea pigs. With autoship it's cheaper and less work to have it delivered. I appreciate Chewys delivery instead of having to run out to get it, haul it from the car into the caviary and risk it being out of stock with the supply chain issues from the pandemic. I recommend it to all my buyers.

Get Oxbow instead.

Mazuri has whey which guinea pigs can't digest since they're lactose intolerant.
