Oxbow Adult Guinea pig food is nutritious and fresh. I've fed this brand since beginning my journey with guinea pigs in 2012. Along with fresh veggies and a clean cage, my oldest piggy lived to be seven and a half years old. His brother lived to six and a half. I'm sold on Oxbow.

simple yet perfect

I started this bag of food and my pair of guineas became super ill, bloating, gut stasis. Emergency vet visit, $$$. The only change I made was feeding this food, they have never been ill before. I contacted Ox Bow and they only provided AI generated responses. Will never buy this food or Brand again, disappointed.
