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

Oxbow is AMAZING!❤
By Birdcage on Oct 11, 2020
I've recently started ordering the 25lbs bag of the Oxbow essential pellets for my piggies and it's amazing how long it'll last me. I have 5 piggies, and this bag will last me FOREVER❤ So far I've ordered the 25 lbs bag 2 times now, and once I receive it, I pour it in a sealed container to help keep it fresh longer, and any remaining pellets in the bag I store in a dark dry place, to help keep it fresh.❤ Definitely recommend this product❤

My piggy loves this food!!
By slr21 on Aug 24, 2020
When I got my piggy I started him on the Oxbow “young guinea pig” pellet formula and once he was older I slowly transitioned him this adult formula. He has loved them both! I tried to give him another (cheaper) brand once when I couldn’t find Oxbow I’m stores, and I immediate saw a decrease in my guinea pigs appetite. This brand is definitely the only one I’ll stick to!

Oxbow pellets
By ManyPiggies on Jun 26, 2020
Oxbow is really the best, healthiest piggie chow out there. None of that unhealthy junk pieces other brands like to throw in. I have multiple pigs and the 5lb bags most stores carry dont last long and are expensive. The 25 lb size bag I really haven’t found anywhere else and last me all month. It isn’t actually what you would call a bulk pricing, but it does save you money over buying 5 five lb bags. The bag is supposed to reseal but doesn’t do it very well. I recommend transferring to another more air tight container.
