I'm not risking stones for my gp. Besides, KMS pellets are fatter,fresh and smell wonderful and the price is great. The hay and pellets from small pet select is expensive! Maybe it's partly because it comes in nice packaging? Pulling plastic out of a box of hay is fine with me to save money and my pig is in love with KMS so why switch it?
There's no guarantee that using a specific brand of pellets will reduce the risk of stones. Vets sometimes recommend a pellet free diet for guinea pigs that are prone to them. I use KM pellets because my guinea pigs seem to prefer the taste but I limit the amount because I'm concerned that pellets might increase the risk, even timothy based ones. I have a couple of pigs that sometimes have sludgy urine, even though I only feed veggies with the lowest calcium levels and KM pellets.
