What role does fortified food play in the overall nutrition of guinea pigs?

Your guinea pig requires daily amounts of essential vitamins and minerals to stay healthy and happy. Our premium, proven Essentials formulas contain 100% of your guinea pig’s daily recommended vitamins and minerals to support whole-body health.

I currently feed a mix. Why is it important to provide uniform nutrition to guinea pigs?

As prey animals, guinea pigs are instinctively wired to selectively eat the highest-calorie options first. Uniform foods prevent guinea pigs from selectively eating less nutritious portions and ensure they receive 100% of their daily nutrition.

What makes Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig special?

All Oxbow foods are formulated with the help of leading exotics veterinarians and nutritionists. Essentials Adult Guinea Pig was the first timothy hay-based food on the market and continues to set the standard in premium nutrition for guinea pigs.

What is the shelf-life of Essentials Adult Guinea Pig?

Essentials Adult Guinea Pig has a guaranteed shelf life of 2 years unopened. We recommend storing this product in a dry, climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight and using within 60 days of opening.

What is the recommended transition plan when switching to Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig?

Transition gradually when switching your pig's food. Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new. Week 2, mix 2 parts current food with 2 parts new. Week 3, mix 1 part current food with 3 parts new. Week four, feed Oxbow exclusively.
