Questions & Answers

18 Customer Questions


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 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.

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 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.

Good quality

When we got our guinea pig he was eating a different brand pellet and was having some white colored urine; I'm not sure if it was a cause and effect. I bought these Oxbow pellets and a week later his urine was alot more clear. Our guinea pig loves these pellets and I feel the quality is great. He seems healthier and happier when I switched him to Oxbow food. I recommend this food for guinea pigs.

Guinea pig approved, but what’s with the size?

My piggies have been eating this food for years and love it. My only complaint is that it seems these bags of food keep getting smaller and smaller. 15 pounds? Maybe, but this bag is no taller then my knee and no wider then a 12 inch ruler. Not sure if it should be this much to keep our piggies healthy.

Piggies Don't Like

My piggies don't like this kind of pellet. I feed two kinds of pellets & they always leave this kind for last.

The best for my girls

The only Oxbow food my girls will eat. I have switched when the Essentials was not available and they would not touch it. Oxbow brand is the only products I trust for my Piggy Girls. They love eating and playing with all the great toys that they have available. I would recommend Essentials for your picky eaters like my girls. Only the best ingredients meant for your specific pet. Nothing added that they don't need in their diet. Will always stay with Oxbow brand.
