Need Ingredients

I found a place that would make the pellets for my guinea pigs if I give them the ingredients that I want in it. I want to know would this be a good idea? I am currently feeding the Mazuri brand but would like to know if having the pellets made with the ingredients that I provide would be better?

I know that if I do provide ingredients, I only want to provide as least as possible and only what the guinea pigs would need in a pellet no added junk.

Any ideas of what I should include or have included in the ingredients?

I know I want it to be Timothy hay based.

Re: Need Ingredients

Formulating pellets is no easy task. It would be better to stick with what you have or upgrade to Oxbow or preferably KM's.

Re: Need Ingredients

The Mazuri brand is easier and less costly for me to get. I was told that if I gave the ingredients of what I wanted in the pellets for my guinea pigs they could make the pellets for me.

The person that would be making them for me runs and owns a feed lot and they make many pellets and other feeds for poeple all the time. That is why I was even considering it.
