 Not Healthy!Aug 06, 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.

NOT healthy for guinea pigs.Jan 05, 2012
By C. Sok
Guinea pigs may love it, but it is definitely not good for them. I originally bought a "mix" bag when I first got my guinea pigs. But with further research, almost everything in the bag is NOT good for them. First, it will teach your guinea pigs to be picky eaters. Second, alfalfa based products are for younger guinea pigs, preferably under the age of one years old. Third, about 80% of the ingredients are unhealthy for your pig (seeds, corn, dried fruit, etc.). The only dried fruit (given as treat ONLY) I would recommend is a couple of raisins every so often.
The best pellets to buy are alfalfa based for younger pigs or timothy hay based for older pigs. PLAIN pellets only. The rest should be unlimited hay and fresh veggies everyday.
 Never had to leave the house for the pet food.Feb 02, 2012

I was happy to find the food on line. Glad to receive it before my brothers animals ran out of food.
Great Guinea Pig foodFeb 26, 2011
I got this guinea pig food when I first got my guinea pig. My guinea pig eats it all and enjoys it. It contains healthy foods such as dried corn and oats. I enjoy buying it for my guinea pig as it is healthy, cheap and my guinea pig loves it. Additionally it comes in a reseal able bag, which is very convenient. I was very satisfied with this food as well as my Guinea pig was.
Perfect for Guinea Pigs; Piggies love itOct 08, 2010

I'm not sure why people are having problem with this guinea pig food. When I first got my piggies this brand was recommended for me. My piggies eat everything in the food, including the sunflower seeds. Mybe other people have picky guinea pigs.
