Best Guinea Pig Food EverMay 20, 2009
By Erin
"Editor's opinion"
This is the best food out there. It's got no alfalfa (which kills grown pigs) and it's got no soy (which is hard to digest). It's also a stabilized source of vitamin C. Buy this food--nothing else.
 Better than many other commercial brandsMay 20, 2012

"This Little Piggie Marketplace"
ZuPreem makes a wide variety of diets for everything from primates to birds. Their guinea pig diet is what I would consider to be a fairly good product overall; it does contain corn, which many guinea pig owners consider to be too high in fat, but it also lacks soy and wheat--two ingredients that some owners believe may cause digestive upset in some animals (although even the "top" brands, such as Oxbow, Kleenmama's Hayloft and American Pet Diner, use soy in their products).
The nutritional analysis of Nature's Promise looks okay, although I would like to see a "max" percentage for fat and a "min" number for fiber:
Protein - min 14%
Fat - min 1%
Fiber - max 28%
Vitamin C is listed at 500ppm. Shelf-life of these pellets is 1 year from the date of manufacture.
I tried Nature's Promise a few years ago, after contacting Zupreem to ask why they do not use molasses for flavoring (they use ground veggies instead), and received a complimentary bag of pellets to try. Our guinea pigs seemed to like the taste well enough, and it was overall not a bad product. It is timothy-based, which is a plus (one reviewer on Amazon.com incorrectly stated that alfalfa is "deadly" to adult guinea pigs, which is absolutely untrue; it simply contains a little too much calcium and protein). A negative, in addition to the corn, would be the use of calcium carbonate as the calcium source -- something that many guinea pig owners, such as myself, try to avoid if their guinea pigs have had problems with bladder sludge or stones. But in all fairness, calcium carbonate/limestone is an ingredient in nearly all commercial guinea pig pellets, with the exception of Kleenmama brand.
I gave Nature's Promise 4 stars because it's a better product than most commercial pellets on the market today (with the exception of the ones I mentioned above), is reasonably-priced for the quality, and I've had positive experiences with ZuPreem's customer service.
Guinea Pig loves his new foodMay 10, 2012
By Isa138
After reading the dangers of alfalfa based food, I decided to get this bag (I couldn't find any timothy hay based pellets in any pet store). My guinea pig loves his new food! I'm glad I bought it for him. For his Vitamin C intake I give him a quarter of an orange per day and some veggies such as carrots! Make sure to look up what they can and can't eat!
Better than Oxbow?Nov 20, 2011
