Questions & Answers

21 Customer Questions

I have 5 adult guineas and 4 pups (3 mos). I just bought the 25 lb version of this brand. Should I still buy a small bag of young pup food until the pups officially hit 6 mos? Will they still have proper nutrition for overall development.
Answer by Chewy • Dec 22, 2017
Adult Guinea Pigs have different nutritional needs than juveniles. They still need a diet high in fiber to keep their digestive systems working properly and Vitamin C, but they need lower levels of calcium, protein and calories than growing Guineas require. This recipe is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of Guinea Pigs over six months.
How long will a 10-lb bag last with one adult guinea pig?
Answer by Chewy • Dec 30, 2020
The longevity of this food will vary based on your individual guinea pig's eating habits.
Does the 25 lb bag go bad if it isn’t used quick enough? Is there an expiration date?
Answer by Chewy • Jan 11, 2018
This product has a shelf life of 12 months. To ensure you give your pet the freshest ingredients we recommend using this product within the allotted time.
How many cups are in a 5-lb bag?
Answer by Chewy • Sep 15, 2020
There will be approximately 4 cups of food per pound. The 5 pound bag will have close to 20 cups, the 10 pound bag close to 40 cups and the 25 pound bag close to 100 cups.

Lukewarm reception

Our newly rescued group of piggies needed some upgrade in their diet. We chose this brand based on the reviews and nutritional information. It’s a slow to eat option for them. We purchased the larger bag so we will continue bro offer it along with their fresh foods and hay.

Great food for Guinea pigs

My guinea pigs are particularly picky about their pellets but my guinea pigs love this and it’s such a basic mix but it’s so healthy and has such good protein and not a lot of fat and it makes a healthy happy guinea pig and there’s even Oxbow food for rabbits so I would not use the guinea pig food because it probably contains other stuff the rabbits don’t need and there are several different kinds of this food there are alfalfa hay for young guinea pigs there are adult pallets there is extra protein pallets there are so many options and I will never feed my guinea pigs anything else

Damaged package

My package had a big cut in the middle Of the bag! A lot of it was spilled into the box and when I feed my Guinea pigs, it’s so inconvenient because I have to grab their food from the middle and some always spills over!

The best for the G-pigs

Oxbow is just the best for G-pig food. It can be sort of boring and bland like all good things are. So we like to doctor it up with some seeds. Even though my pigs eat it just fine with out anything.

Chubby Piggies

Ordered a small bag of this to see if my 3 guinea pigs liked it - they loved it! So I bought the large bag. The key thing is that you really need to monitor how much you give them. With my previous brand of food, I would just fill their dish completely whenever it was empty and everything was always ok. After about 2 months of feeding this food I realized I was going through pellets much faster and my guinea pigs were looking a bit chubby with no other changes to the hay provided or daily veggies. I cut back on pellets to more closely follow the recommended amount and I think they're starting to slim down to a healthy weight again. This seems like a good quality food but maybe sweetened a bit too much (molasses is higher in the ingredient list than some other brands) and it can cause an unhealthy balance in their diet if not monitored correctly. Just follow the recommended feeding amounts and alter as needed.

review of Oxbow Essentials Cavy Cuisine Adult Guinea Pig Food

This food is so awesome, a little more expensive than some, but it is great quality, smaller pellets and good to know my piggies are getting good nutrition. Chewy delivery and price is great. Very happy with my purchase and ordering through such an awesome company as Chewy!
