Feeding Guidelines:
Mature Guinea Pigs (over 6 months)
Feed 1/8 cup pellets daily in addition to unlimited grass hay. Although Essentials - Adult Guinea Pig Food is an excellent complete feed for guinea pigs, unlimited access to fresh grass hay should also be provided. Choose from Oxbow’s Western Timothy, Orchard, Oat or Botanical grass hays to provide additional natural fiber. Cavy Cuisine - Adult Guinea Pig Food is not intended for growing, gestating or lactating animals. Feed Cavy Performance - Young Guinea Pig to guinea pigs requiring a higher level of nutrition.
Feed in addition to unlimited grass hay.
*This product is not intended for growing, active, pregnant or nursing guinea pigs. We encourage pet owners to feed Oxbow Essentials Young Guinea Pig Food during these stages of life.
Please note that these are guidelines. If your guinea pig is overweight or underweight, please contact your veterinarian or Oxbow for more specific feeding information.
Transitioning to a New Food: Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new food. Week 2, mix 2 parts current food with 2 parts new food. Week 3, mix 1 part current food with 3 parts new food. Week four, feed Essentials - Adult Guinea Pig exclusively.
