That's terrible guinea pig food. The main ingredient in pellets should be timothy hay, and those have none. The only hay in them is alfalfa, which is too high in calcium for an adult pig.

Vitapol sells another guinea pig food, but I can't find any nutritional analysis for it.

@bpatters I also can't find the ingredients of the Vitapol karma guinea pig pellets, which are the other guinea pig food you are referring to. However one site says they have "a favorable mix of grains, cereals, seeds & granulated fodder that enables a healthy growth in small animals." so they are also no good as they have seeds and grains mixed in making it more of a muesli mix
Here is the site I pulled that quote from https://pawsome.co.in/products/vitapol-karma-guinea-pig

Hi! I am presuming that you are looking to source the pellets in India? If yes, I have heard that these are a better option. I read about it from other guinea pig owners on Guinea Lynx
