What ingredients to look for?

I have yet to get a guinea pig, and was looking at some guinea pig food at the pet store and found a great big bag of guinea pig food for a good price. I checked the ingredients and the first one was dehydrated alfalfa meal, and then something with soybean in it. Soybean was repeated 3 times in a row after the dehydrated alfalfa meal. Is this a good food or not? If not, what should I look for in food? Is there brand reccomendations?

I don't know about the ingredients, but I do know that it is not good to buy a big bag of food (unless you have loads of pigs XD) because if it is left for a long time then it can loose it's nutritional value. Just a thought.

I wasn't going to buy it I was just looking around for prices and quality ahead of time. Thanks for the tip though

Re: What ingredients to look for?

What was the name of the food? Was it a plain pellet or a pellet mix? Most of the pellets on the market today aren't very good.

The top brands are Oxbow (Oxbow Pet Products | Welcome) and Kleenmama's pellets (www.kmshayloft.com).

In Canada, it would be Oxbow, Martin's and Proform.
