I live in Europe and have found nothing but crappy guinea pig mixes in the stores. The ingredient list is usually a tally of all things not to feed a guinea pig. Since I live on an island that has strict import rules regarding animal fodder I don't have the option of ordering online, besides the shipping fee alone would probably be around $200 for a big bag of pellets from KM. The brand names I have found are Vitakraft, Witte Molen, Biozoo and then I found a vet that sells Science Selective.
I'm getting my two first guinea pig girls in about a month (they were born on Christmas day), I have found the proper grids to make a C&C cage, I am working on the coroplast and have my fleece and towles ready. I even found Carefresh to put in the kitchen area. Hay and vegetables are readily available. The only thing missing are the right pellets. So do I just skip giving them the guinea pig mixes and only give them hay and vegetables? I have looked at the nutrition chart and veggie menus but I assume they are put together assuming you are also feeding pellets. If I don't have any pellets how much vegetables do I have to feed my two growing girls in addition to the hay?
I turn to you vise ones for advice
