AMAZING! But bag was torn
By Pigmomma on May 11, 2021
Ok so this is an amazing product! But the bag was torn. That was a little alarming to me but seeing as my pigs gobble it up I think it’s fine. This is he best product I’ve ever had. But it was my bad for ordering the 25 lb bag. It’s like a dog food bag. And they only need so little a day I think it might last a while. They get so excited when they hear me scoop it up that sometimes I think they pee themselves. If you are thinking about buying it this is a good choice. I was feeding sunburst and my pigs were not having it. Understandable. Sunburst is disgustingly sugary. It took the pigs a while to warm up to the food but when they did man, you better move your fingers unless you wanna get them Ok so this is an amazing product! But the bag was torn.

By Bassettmom4 on Jul 1, 2021
Guinea pig food is the only stuff my girls will eat we tried other stuff and one of them actually got sick and passed away. They love the pellets. I didn’t realize the 25 pound bag was in both my AutoShip orders so I ended up paying double but I guess it is what it is. Al in all good food

Pigs love it!
By guineakeet on Jul 7, 2021
After unsuccessfully trying other foods we ordered this food for our three guinea pigs. They ate them right away, picking them out from the other kind we were feeding. Will definitely buy again!

Best company hands-down
By Perfect on Jun 29, 2021
I love the quality of oxbow products. I use them for all nine of my guinea pigs. But the best thing about it is purchasing it from chewie.com. Hands-down the best company I’ve ever dealt with.

They eat it all!
By PiggyMom on Apr 14, 2021
Oxbow was recommended by our vet to make sure our piggies we’re getting enough vitamin C. First I only bought a 5 pound bag because they have a history of being very picky! We used to give them Vitakraf Menu but would often throw out much they didn’t eat. Not so with Oxbow! They eat it all! No more wasting food! Piggy approved! :)
