Hi! I have four female guinea pigs who are currently eating Oxbow Essentials pellets as they are all younger than 6 months. Ruby and Opal (Ruby is the guinea pig in my icon) are around 5 months of age but my other two guinea pigs Pearl and Amber are around 2 months old. As Ruby and Opal are...
Ugh I just wish that pet shops didn't sell any live animals at all! I hate seeing a little kid pointing at a guinea pig thinking it's cute and says "mommy can we please have it!" and then a few weeks later they get bored of it and then the guinea pig is neglected. Also I never buy from pet shops...
When guinea pigs are outdoors you don't get to know them as much because they're basically out of your sight. I love having my guinea pigs inside because they squeak when I come into the room.:) Also it's safer and better for your guinea pigs.
Kaytee Fiesta isn't very good to feed to your guinea pigs the main reason being that it contains ethoxyquin which is dangerous. I would avoid any type of guinea pig mixes and stick to plain pellets like Oxbow and KMS Hayloft.
