My Number One Pick for Feeding 5 + guinea pigs
All of my guinea pigs love this food. For a long time, I struggled to find food I was comfortable feeding my guinea pigs. There are a ton of different options in pet stores, and honestly, after a long bout of research, I learned these are not the foods that are best for guinea pigs. Many of the foods that you see on the pet store shelves include unnecessary and dangerous ingredients, that your guinea pigs do not need in their food. Oxbow is the only brand that I trust when it comes to food, toys, and treats for my guinea pigs. The price is also great for the amount and quality of food you get in this bag. I currently have 5 guinea pigs and this bag lasts me a month to a month and a half (sometimes more). My pigs also are always excited to eat these pellets and never refuse any oxbow products.Even if you have 1-2 guinea pigs, I would strongly recommend buying in bulk!

You’d be crazy wasteful to continue buying small bags in store
Excellent food at an excellent price. Cannot find it this cheap in store, and no healthier choice for your piggies.

Great for my guineas!
My guineaâs love their pellets! I call it their cereal lol but my boys are very healthy and even as they are growing, they havenât gotten bored of the taste or anything which is good since I know some guineas do that. Overall the pellets last me a decent amount of time even with 2 guinea pigs as I buy 10lbs at a time and fill up their automatic feeder with them. There is no weird smell and no weird objects in the bag. Overall great buy!

Good price, good product.
Iâve owned Guinea pigs several times since I was a kid. This is what I buy for my kids pets now. Best bang for the buck as far as a basic small animal pellet in a bigger sized package that my pets love ! Average lifespan for pigs (I think) is about 4-6 years. Mine do better ! Iâll keep buying it.

Does the trick!
I am very happy with this product. They’ve always been eating Oxbow pellets but the vet suggested switching over to this variety after my pig had bladder stones. I was pleased to see it was available on Amazon. It came quickly and my guinea pigs like it. Highly recommend!

Questi pellet per cavie sono davvero di ottima qualità . Le mie cavie li hanno mangiati con molto piacere. Da non usare sempre ma solo saltuariamente o in alcuni periodi della loro vita come gravidanza, allattamento e crescita (le cavie devono nutrirsi prevalentemente di fieno, erba e vegetali freschi, come è scritto anche sulla confezione). La confezione è di plastica grossa e resistente, richiudibile e quindi il contenuto si conserva anche per lungo tempo. Data di scadenza lontana (oltre due anni). Attenzione: contiene anche soia.

My babies love it. Since I’ve switched over to Oxbow, i have noticed their fur is softer, eyes brighter and they seem so much better and alert.

Si estás empezando en el mundo de las cobayas, esto es para ti. Y si llevas un tiempo y dudas si cambiar tu pienso habitual, también es para ti.En cualquiera de las opciones, hazlo, cambia a este. No me pagan creerme jajajaj pero si me fio muchÃsimo de mi veterinaria de exóticos, una excelente profesional que es súper cariñosa y dedicada con estos animalitos. Y he investigado muchÃsimo personalmente, llego siempre a la misma conclusión, este es el mejor.Yo ya hice el cambio antes de conocerla, y cuando me preguntó sobre la rutina de mis cobayas y como eran sus cuidados, se quedó asombrada cuando le dije que usaba este, literalmente me dijo: es el Brad Pitt de los piensos. Nunca me olvidaré de eso jajajajaObviamente hay que combinarlo con una buena dieta, ejercicio, un buen recinto, heno de calidad, sus revisiones. Pero creerme que con solo hacer el cambio vuestros animalitos lo notarán muchÃsimo, es más caro pero es la mejor inversión. Lo notaréis ahora y a largo plazo, su vida vale mucho y literalmente esto les puede hacer una gran diferencia.Mi veterinaria sigue buscando conseguirlo para que sea más accesible en las tiendas, y aunque ella se fastidie con las ventas de lo que tienen en la clÃnica, siempre recomienda que sigamos comprando este aunque no sea a ella. Solo un hospital de exóticos lo vende en mi zona (He vivivido en varios sitios de España y es la primera vez que lo veo en fÃsico, eso es mucho decir). El resto es imposible a no ser que lo pidas en Amazon, en nuestra zona.Con todo esto, espero que os ayude, nuestra humilde experiencia es que es una de las mejores decisiones que tomamos nosotros para nuestros peques, que al fin y al cabo son parte de la familia.
