 Not Healthy!Apr 20, 2007
By Anonymous
This food looks like fun for your piggy, but it is unhealthy and potentially dangerous. The first ingredient is alfalfa meal. Guinea pig pellets should be timothy (hay) based, not alfalfa based. Alfalfa based pellets should only be given to baby guinea pigs (up to six months of age) and pregnant/nursing pigs. Alfalfa has a high calcium content, and excess calcium can contribute to bladder crystals/sludge/stones and urinary problems. This food also contains corn. Corn is not a natural food for guinea pigs. Dried corn carries the risk of aflatoxin, and corn, while not necessarily harmful to guinea pigs, works as filler and does not offer pigs any nutritional value. Corn can also contribute to allergies.
The seeds, nuts and dried fruit bits look like fun, but they are potentially dangerous. Hulled seeds and unshelled nuts are a choking hazard. Guinea pigs can not eat with their "hands" the way hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice can. Guinea pigs can not easily dispose of a husk or shell. If they fail to spit it out, they can choke on it. Seeds and nuts are high in fat and not a natural food for guinea pigs. Dried fruit is high in sugars and not a natural food for guinea pigs.
This food also contains Ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is a highly controversial preservative. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists Ethoxyquin as a pesticide! Ethoxyquin is strongly suspected of causing cancer, birth defects, organ damage and other serious health problems.
If you love your guinea pigs, you will feed them plain timothy based pellets, without seeds or nuts or dried fruit bits mixed in. You will provide fresh loose timothy hay or orchard grass at all times, and you will give your pigs fresh vegetables everyday -- like parsley, green pepper, dandelion leaves, romaine, cucumber, celery, etc.
