Guinea pigs Fav!!
By CocoRoxy on Feb 25, 2021
My boys love eating this particular pallet brand. Which is funny because I bought other guinea pig pellets (from a different brand) and they don’t eat it unless it’s the oxbow essentials pellets (as far as picture). This is the best for their nutrition, diet, growth, and it helps keeps them at ease!

Don't usually write reviews. Best food.
By Guineadad66 on Feb 20, 2021
I bought this instead of Kaytee cause the guinea pig poop smelt so awful and wanted to see if it was something in the food. This is smaller pellets and they waste less AND their poop stopped smelling ! Don't waste your money on the cheaper stuff.

Guinea pig approved
By Minizoo on Feb 21, 2021
Been using this for years for our guinea pig and he still enjoys this. Between this food and the variety of fresh veggies, hay and treats he's a very healthy boy.

They love it
By PiggieMom on Jan 28, 2021
Our piggies love Oxbow and our Vet recommends it. We're happy with the purchase and particularly love the resealable bag, which actually works for the time it takes our 2 guinea pigs to eat the whole thing.

Piggys loving it
By becci on Jan 19, 2021
I recently switched to oxbow pellets for my gals. They are loving it! Before with brand that I got when adopting them from DFL, they barely touched it now I fill my ceramic non spill bowl 2x a day

Great Food!
By Wagguinea on Dec 10, 2020
I give this food a 5/5 stars because it comes in a large quantity, my guinea pigs love it, and it has great quality. I planned on slowly switching over but didn't have enough old food, but my guinea pigs immediately starting munching down on it. I highly recommend!

Oxbow Pelets
By Jennifer on Oct 16, 2020
I’ve been getting Oxbow for years now and they’re the most reliable brand :) I get it in both the adult feed and the young feed for whenever I have little babies munching around!! Their hay is the best as well! I always buy everything in bulk as it’s so good and so affordable and lasts a long time! Definitely gets my vote and all 6 of my piggies approval!! <3

Not super happy with this
By 2piggies on Nov 27, 2020
I like that this guinea pig pellet food doesn't have extras, like seeds or corn or odd colored nuggets. I don't like that it seems to turn to dust easily in their bowl. The pellets are really small, but the 2 pigs eat it just fine. Think I'll look for something different with my next order.

My piggies love these pellets!! We always get the 25 pound bag and it lasts us 6 months and a few weeks! Oxbow is a great brand and really make awesome products. Every time I purchase these pellets they always look and smell like the quality I want my piggies to consume and enjoy!
