Can I feed this to my 8 month old male guinea pigs?
Answer by Chewy • May 14, 2019
This food is rot recommended for Guinea Pigs over 6 months.

i see that vitamin C is an ingredient in this food. will i still need to provide the vitamin C tablets that guinea pigs require?
Answer by Chewy • Aug 31, 2019
Although this food does have a vitamin C content, it is still recommended to add tablets or other vitamin C supplementation to assure that your guinea pig is getting enough in their diet.

Not eating this product with gusto

I bought this product for our new guinea pig who is 3 & 1/2 months old. She is not eating it with gusto... sort of just picks at it here & there. She prefers pellet foods that are meant for adult guinea pigs. I can't imagine why she doesn't like the Oxbow, though. It smells and looks good. I'd eat it if I were a guinea pig, but she's the one who needs the nourishment! p.s. We had another young guinea pig a few years ago who really liked this food.
