Re: Pellets

Basically, most piggie foods are crap!

Check the ingrediants before you buy.... they must be pellets only (not a mix), specifically for guinea pigs, and contain a stabilised form of vitamin C.
The first ingrediant should be timothy (for adult piggies). Piggies under 6 months can have alfalfa based pellets, but they are too high in calcium for adults unless very strictly limited.
They must NOT contain ethoxyquin - this is a preservative known to be carcinogenic.

Really, the ONLY good foods are Oxbow and Kleenmama's.
