Such great food.
By Broken on May 16, 2020
All 9 of my piggies absolutely love this food. They get this and hay to eat over night while in the morning they get fresh veggies and fresh hay but every morning that bowl is empty everytime It does suck that shipping takes 10-12 days to get here having 80 animals I rely on chewy to be there for them guess you just have to plan better

My guinea pigs love these!
By NrsKat on May 20, 2020
This is my first time buying a 25lb bag - but we’ve been feeding our pigs these pellets for years. Was warned about possible delayed shipping due to covid-19 (likely surplus of orders) but package was received in less than 48 hours! Amazing! Will see how long this bag lasts us, and will set up autoship!!

Shipping of there food
By Piggies02 on May 3, 2020
It took almost 12 days to get my piggies food. I live about 5 min from Chewys in Camphill / Mechanisburg Pa. After I placed my order I found out Petsmart was open. If I would have known that before hand I would have never ordered from Chewys. Im disappointed in the service of shipping. Any compensation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Great Buy!
By Myah on Apr 26, 2020
I'm really happy that my piggies are eating this food. I was nervous because I've heard that some guinea pigs will dog pellets alone. They love it! My one guinea pig Max has had digestive issues for a while now and this food has made his stool go back to normal (not soft anymore) and his coat is much softer!

Must buy, so huge
By Janae on May 10, 2020
What a great product! The prices here are way better than pet smart. And I never realized buying a 25lb bag would be so huge! And for such a great price! I won’t have to replace the food for a while. I will definitely buy again once it’s time.

Sad pig on hunger strike :’(
By PickyPiggy on Apr 7, 2020
This is an awful situation... I spent nearly $30 on this big supply of piggy food and now I’m stuck with this stuff because my girl won’t have anything to do with it. I’m probably gonna have to give her my rabbit’s pellets until I can afford to get her something different because she’s literally on hunger strike at the moment

It was time to stock up!
By Allie on Mar 30, 2020
My little herd of girls was high on my list of priorities when shopping for social distancing! Forget toilet paper- Stella, Mopsy, Myrtle and Petra need their pellets! The 25lb bag was just what was needed to ease my mind and Oxbow is a high quality pellet that they love.

Best brand on chewy!
By awesome on May 20, 2020
Awesome food. My pigs loves them, don't buy the food with all the pieces in it they don't need. Their diet should be simple no sugar.

HIGHLY RATED! SUPERIOR QUALITY!
By PiggyDaddy on Jan 27, 2020
My little girls, (two adult female sister piggies, Lizzy & Kiara) LOVE Oxbow pellets. The freshness in the quality is just superior to other pellet brands out there. Also, purchasing from Chewy is just the easiest ordering experience and you can trust that you’ll receive the finest and freshest products available. Nom! Nom! Nom!

I have 7 piggies and they all absolutely love this food! They eat it with no problem although I do give them their daily salads. I have this item on auto ship and it always arrives very fast!
