Oxbow’s pellets and hay provide essential nutrition for your pet guinea pig, unlike food mixes from big-box pet stores that may contribute to obesity, tooth problems or other health concerns. Avoid items like multivitamins, mineral or salt wheels which may not be required and cause obesity as well as health concerns like teeth issues or heart conditions.
Choose a natural diet of nutritious hays, organic pellets and fresh vegetables instead. Legumes should make up about 50% of their daily food intake for maximum health benefits and to prevent weight issues in their pet.

Fresh Vegetables
Guinea pigs thrive in their natural environment by foraging for healthy ingredients like grasses, seeds and herbs as well as eating pellets and fruits to obtain all of the nutrition they require. Muesli-style foods that mix all these components can lead to selective feeding by picking out favorite parts from a bowlful; this may result in nutritional deficiencies; for this reason it’s essential that guinea pig food features uniform texture for best results.
Oxbow Guinea Pig Food features three distinct grass hays, garden vegetables and herbs to provide complete nutrition to guinea pigs. Formulated under the guidance of small animal veterinarians and nutritionists for maximum effectiveness. With high fiber content to appeal to their natural chewing instincts and promote good digestion. Packaged in 2-pound bags.
Small Pet Select offers guinea pig food that’s fortified with vitamin C – an essential nutrient that cannot be produced naturally by their pets. They also add vegetable- and fruit-rich sources like kale, spinach and various herbs & strawberries for extra nutritional support.
Vitamin C-Fortified Pellets
Guinea pigs require ample amounts of vitamin C, an essential dietary nutrient which aids the body in producing collagen. While most animals can synthesize ascorbic acid on their own, guinea pigs cannot and therefore must get it through diet alone. Without enough Vitamin C intake, they could develop an illness known as Scurvy which could be fatal.
Your pet should receive a healthy hay-based pelleted diet fortified with Vitamin C that should meet most of their daily nutritional requirements, however if they become sick or stressed out or the food and vegetables available are outdated or spoiling quickly you may need to supplement their diet with additional Vitamin C supplements.
Search for food that has been specifically formulated with added Vitamin C during manufacturing. Avoid brands that add sugar, seeds or colourful pieces; their Vitamin C degrades rapidly and won’t provide as many benefits to your guinea pig.
Hay Stacks
Hay stacks are a useful way of storing hay for animal feeding purposes. Their design should allow water to drain off rather than becoming stagnant on top, thus protecting against spoilage prior to being fed to animals.
These storage facilities are popularly found in rural areas where access to agricultural machinery like tractors and harvesters may not be easily available, or areas prone to frequent rainstorms or snowstorms. Additionally, this type of storage provides shelter in case the weather turns against us unexpectedly.
These dishes are both easy and inexpensive to make, making them the ideal solution for families or small groups looking to save money while still serving high-quality meals. Furthermore, these are perfect as fast lunch on-the-go, accommodating busy lifestyles or those lacking time for meal preparation – they can be done within 30 minutes with no baking required – perfect for novice bakers!
