Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food, Timothy Hay Pellets, USA, 5 lb

My guinea pigs LOVE this food! I have offered them other kinds of food, but they love this kind. They seem to love the flavor and freshness, they eat all of it without any problems. There is a lot of pellets in the bag and usually lasts my two girls a month or so. I love Oxbow, they're the best brand out there that is actually is safe for piggies! Thank you, Oxbow!!

This is the only door pellets that I serve to my piggies. They have always seemed to like it just fine. Never turned their noses up and was always happy when they seen me refilling their bowls. Oxbow is (IMO) the best brand for small exotics. At least they are for my babies! They may be a bit pricey, but they are healthy. They don’t have all of the nasty chemicals and dyes that are on other brands. And they are just the plain pellets which is what I prefer with my guinea pigs. When you see small exotics pellets they shouldn’t have nuts and seeds or bits of dried fruits in them. They should o Lu be the pellets with high grade ingredients such as Timothy hay, etc. Oxbow for the win!! All day every day!!

Is very nutritious but apparently not savory. I use the same amount of the previous bran (mazuri) and they eat it slower, but eat it all.

If you have a guinea pig that is six months or older, Oxbow’s adult “Cavy Cuisine” is exactly what you have been looking for. This guinea pig food is perfect for providing your cavy with a timothy-based pellet containing each of the essential vitamins and nutrients required for your cavy’s health to thrive. This is of absolute importance due to how easily guinea pigs can become ill, leading to several vet visits and possible fatalities.Increases Weight Control and DigestionOxbow’s pellet is 100% timothy-based, which means that the pellet does not include any alfalfa. Alfalfa is a fatty and rich hay that is used in most guinea pig foods as a less expensive, lower quality alternative. The use of alfalfa in pellets, can lead to serious health problems for your guinea pig, such as weight gain, later on resulting in diabetes, as well as digestive issues, which can result in fatalities. You can find alfalfa-based pellets at most large-scale pet stores such as Petco and PetSmart, but very seldom can you find a timothy-based pellet with this quality. Instead, oxbow products are found online, costing a bit more due to shipping and handling, but providing your guinea pig with these necessary health benefits makes the additional cost incredibly worth it.Encourages a Balanced SystemThis formula also contains a well-balanced ratio of calcium and phosphorus, which is essential for a healthy urinary system. Calcium is important for your guinea pig, as it is responsible for the health of your pig’s teeth and bones. Phosphorus is also essential, but too much of either of these nutrients can be detrimental. By keeping your guinea pigs system balanced, with higher calcium content than phosphorus, you will lessen your risk of serious issues such as stone formation. This will save you several vet bills, and tons of stress.Boosts Healthy Immune SystemsThe icing on the cake, however, is that Oxbow’s pellet contains vitamin C. As many of you know, guinea pigs, like us, are unable to create their own vitamin C. This means that incorporating vitamin C into your cavy’s diet is an absolute must. Oxbow’s pellet contains a stabilized, or highly condensed, vitamin C level that has a shelf life up to 12 months. Alongside of a cup of vegetables and fruits daily, this pellet will assure that your guinea pig is obtaining the vitamin C it must in order to fight off life-threatening respiratory issues.Overall, this product is a must. You have a guinea pig, and you want the best for your fragile cavy. Oxbow’s Cavy Cuisine is about as top notch as it gets. And it doesn’t stop here; I would recommend all of Oxbow’s products, ranging from bedding to dietary needs, to enhance your guinea pigs lifestyle needs.

One of my favorite brands of hay for my piggies and they love it.. munching all day long. It always seems like a good fresh cut. The bag is huge so lasts a while for my three pigs. Keeping in mind that this gets used every day, I feel it lasts a while anyway. MY only complaint.. and this is a me thing… be sue the hay is fresh, it triggers my allergies real bad. The things we do for pets. Lol

My guinea pigs love these and always seem fresh and good quality.

Ive purchased this many times for my guinea pig and he enjoys it, however sometimes the bag comes ripped ):

My guinea pig loves the food

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 muchísimo de mi veterinaria de exóticos, una excelente profesional que es súper cariñosa y dedicada con estos animalitos. Y he investigado muchísimo 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 muchísimo, 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 clínica, 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 físico, 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.

A mio parere è il cibo migliore che si possa trovare in commercio per i porcellini d’india, quando avevo i cincillà usavo lo stesso marchio!Buono anche il prezzo!

schon öfters nachbestellt!

Really good clean pellets, but for the size of the bag a bit expensive to be honest.

Allt bra!
