I have been feeding my guinea pigs Supreme Selective 4.6 lbs $14.99. They liked that pricey stuff better then anything else. UNTIL I gave them Oxbow. They literally picked the pieces of the Supreme Selective out and buried their little heads in the bowl to get the Oxbow. All 4 GP's went crazy over it immediately! I got this because the main ingredient is Timothy Hay vs. Alfalfa. PLUS, the price is way better then the other brand.

I LOVE OXBOW anything, and my piggies would agree with me. I used to feed them this terrible food :( but then I found OXBOW! It is SO healthy for them. You may think it is expensive but it lasts a really long time and it is sooo worth it. One time I switched my guinea pigs' food because it was all we had at the time, and they wouldn't eat it, they loved OXBOW too much!! Thank you for this awesone food!! :)

I have two rescue piggies who usually will not eat the pellets unless they have treats in them. I wanted to get away from that and after reading the reviews, decided to try this brand. They both like it. It is a good addition to the Timothy Hay they always have and the fresh veggies I give them for breakfast and dinner.

25lbs of never having to go to the store for pig food again. 25lbs of, "Holy crap, this is so much cheaper." 25lbs of pure Bliss for the pigs. I buy this around every 3 months for my 4 pigs. I keep it in a sealed dog food container and it stays fresh. And The price is fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better product.

My guinea pigs used to waste their other cheaper food and dig it out of the dish. They actually eat this and stopped wasting food! It costs a little more but it is worth it to have them actually eating it and not spreading it all over their cage. Glad I switched them to this food!

This is way better than getting the 4 lb bag all the time which varies depending where you get it from. Huge bag will last a long time. This is my first go at it, but the pound comparison and cost is way more inexpensive and I can't find this anywhere else.

After making sure my guinea pig likes it i then bought the big bag. Really worth the investment instead of buying small bags more frequently. Still stays fresh and is in the resealable bag which helps with keeping it fresh in storage! Quick and easy delivery

This product is one of the best by far! I have my 7 guinea pig children and a rabbit baby as well. They all love this brand! It's such a great product that the look and even smell is better. My babies were on Kaytee before and it just looks processed with the bad for them colored bits as well. Don't even get me started on the smell!! But this food looks all natural and has almost no scent!! I love it so much!! Thank you Oxbow for having such a great product and thank you Chewy.com for carrying at such an affordable price and excellent service!!

I got exactly what I wanted when I ordered. The bag is easy to open and close so the food remains fresh. It’s easier to buy the big bag then going out every month and buying a smaller one. Very happy with this product!
