Chubby Piggies
By Sarah on Oct 22, 2021
Ordered a small bag of this to see if my 3 guinea pigs liked it - they loved it! So I bought the large bag. The key thing is that you really need to monitor how much you give them. With my previous brand of food, I would just fill their dish completely whenever it was empty and everything was always ok. After about 2 months of feeding this food I realized I was going through pellets much faster and my guinea pigs were looking a bit chubby with no other changes to the hay provided or daily veggies. I cut back on pellets to more closely follow the recommended amount and I think they're starting to slim down to a healthy weight again. This seems like a good quality food but maybe sweetened a bit Ordered a small bag of this to see if my 3 guinea pigs liked it - they loved it! So I bought the large bag.

Just follow the recommended feeding amounts and alter as needed. … more

I have purchased and trusted oxbow for a long time but this is the first I’ve ordered it from Chewy. $10.00 for 10lbs of Oxbow with auto-delivery which is outstanding and the speed that it was delivered is amazing. So happy to have ordered it from Chewy

Good choice, our guinea pig loves it
By Lyss on Nov 29, 2021
Good choice for a healthy diet for your guinea pig. She seems to eat it well and we haven’t had any issues otherwise. We do like that it offers different stages of food depending on growth and age for optimal health.

Spectacular guinea pig food
By Taus on Nov 15, 2021
This food is recommended by experienced guinea pig animal rescue centers. My sweetheart elderly guinea pig can't get enough of these pellets, to the point where he's gaining weight, oops. However I am working with his vet to get him healthy.

Love the bulk size!
By Pellets on Nov 23, 2021
This is the only place I could find to order a 25lbs bag, which I desperately need with seven pigs. It saves me money in the long run buying big bags so I appreciate the option.
