Okay I found a local feed and seed that sells guinea pig pellets in bulk. I think the brand they sold is called lab diet for guinea pigs but I am not sure. Are lab diet pellets okay I googled it and they came up with one by purina but the bag looked different than on the website so can I feed these or should I stick to martins?       |

Can you ask them for a list of ingredients? That will help in telling you how healthy the food is. |

The pellets by Purina are designed for lab or show/ breeder guinea pigs, not really pet guinea pigs. The ingredients are here http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/vi...?p=76696#76696 |

You'd be better off sticking with the Martins. |

Just as a matter of information - here's the nutrition info for all of their formulas, from their website: 5025 5026 50E6 5LP8 5PI8 They are all pretty bad. |

KM does ship pellets to Canada so you may want to see about getting her timothy based ones. |
