I have two guinea pigs. One is fussy and one would eat rocks if I fed him that! The fussy one won’t even touch this. The piggy pig eats about half of what I give him. And I don’t feel a lot of pellets. I ordered a bag of Zupreem from Chewy. I had been using that in the past. I guess I shouldn’t have tried to switch them. Glad I bought a small bag of this.

My little pigs devour these pellets. They can’t get enough. They go for the pellets before the hay! Crazy little buggers. I’ll always trust anything from Oxbow. They provide the best quality hands down.

I got this to give my guinea pig something different from the original pellets. Oxbow is a great brand but these pellets are not very tasty. They were much darker and larger than the original. Domino would not eat them and finally after 2 weeks of trying I donated the bag and bought a bag of the original. He is happy and eating again.

My guys didn't love this at first, but I persisted by mixing with the old food. After about a week they were hooked. We have used Oxbow for years with our gp's and rabbits, but this product has much better ingredients and makes me feel like I'm doing the best thing for them. No molasses, wheat or soy.

This pet food was recommended to me by our vet, it is a healthier food than I had been giving my piggy before and for the most part he really likes it a lot. His old food wasn’t as nutritionally balanced and was cheaper, but this is a healthy, good quality food! I do wish that they would mix in little pieces of fruit and veggies in with this food because at first he really did miss that “lucky charms” aspect that this food doesn’t offer. So, I have mixed in dried fruit and nuts and he likes it even more that way! This is a Timothy based pellet which is really important for Snickers, he can’t have Alfalfa because that contributes to bladder stones and he is on medication to prevent those.

I love this food for my Guineas. The ingredients are great. No fillers, no molasses. And natural ingredients like herbs used to supplement minerals and vitamins. And none of the yucky stuff like muesli. I would dare to say this is the best guinea pig food on the market. My boys love it. And I feel the price is reasonable for what you’re getting. I only have two boys( which are separated due to fighting) and I give them each 1 tablespoon night and day. And they love it. They think it’s a treat.

My guinea pigs love this food. It smells so wonderful, just like hay. I love how it has 3 different types of hays in it.
