I have a 6 month old piggy. Im thinking about getting him a companion (another male of course). But chances are just ababy baby. Im looking at switching my piggy i have now to oxbow. Would it be ok to feed both piggies the young pig food? Or should i just switch them directly to adult food?
Answer by • Jun 16, 2017
For over 6 months you should feed your Guinea Pig the Oxbow Essentials Cavy Cuisine Adult Guinea Pig Food. The Oxbow Essentials Cavy Performance Young Guinea Pig Food is not recommended feed for adult Guinea Pigs. They should each be on a different food for their ages.
About how long will a 25 lb bag last for two piggies that are both a little over month old? Should I feed them unlimited pellets or 1/8 cup per pig?
Answer by • Aug 07, 2017
For growing guinea pigs (under 6 months), you can feed them unlimited pellets in addition to hay. Because this product can be fed in unlimited quantities, how long the bag lasts will completely depend on how much you feed your guinea pigs.
Can I feed this to my 8 month old male guinea pigs?
Answer by • 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 • 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.
