| Whoops, Ran out of Oxbow!!!
OI!!!
I'm so stupid, I thought I had another bag of Oxbow in my freezer for the piggers but I don't. They are all out!!! I don't have a local supplier so I order it. My pigs were hungry this morning so I went to the freezer and realized my mistake.
SO, my only option was to trek on over to PetSmart. I really don't want to give them any garbage but they need SOME pellet, right? So, I did my best. I went through all the bags... and looked at ingredients. I'm not entirely savvy on what makes a good pellet so, your help is needed.
I went with the Kaytee brand Timothy Complete Guinea Pig...
Here are the ingredients... I looked for one without corn and without any nuts, seeds, ect. Now, I understand this is junk compared to the Oxbow. i totally screwed up! But it will take a few weeks for my Oxbow to get here, so I'm doing the best I can. Let me know if ya'll think they will be ok on this for now, or if I should forego the pellet and give extra veggies and hay.
