I will only buy this for my piggies.
Won't stay to fresh if left in bag once open but you can get a container for it. These are not a soft pellet and is the perfect color. Easy to feed, good size and amount for the price. This food will help keep your piggies healthier longer, has no added stuff they should not have. Highly recommended and will only buy this.

Perfect for My Piggies!
I’ve tried several guinea pig food brands over the years, and this one is by far the best! My piggies absolutely love it — they run to the bowl as soon as they hear the bag rustle. The pellets are fresh, smell great, and seem to be packed with all the right nutrients, including vitamin C which is essential for guinea pig health.I've noticed shinier coats, more energy, and happy squeaks since switching to this food. Bonus: way less waste because they actually eat it instead of picking around it. Highly recommend for any guinea pig parent who wants the best for their little floofs!

Must have for guinea pigs!
I bought this for our Guinea pigs after hearing Oxbow is the best product for them. They seem to love it! This bag lasts us a while since they only eat a handful a day. It’s a great price too!

Healthy and good tasting and made in the USA!
This is a really healthy food for adult guinea pigs. It is a good, and good tasting, pellet. All of the guineas I’ve had love it. I trust Oxbow for all my piggies food, snacks and vitamin c.

Essential
The media could not be loaded. This guinea pig food is great quality and a great price. It has kept my guinea pig very healthy, and he has grown a lot since he started eating it as a baby. A 10-pound bag lasts me over three months. I subscribe to it to get the discounted price and to make sure I never forget to order it.

better pellets
My guinea pigs will beg for these pellets. We were using the regular pellets and when I had to switch because I needed to save a little bit, my girls and boy started eating these like crazy.

One of the best pellets out there for young guinea pigs (under 6 months of age)
I got this for my guinea pig who was estimated to be under 6 months at the time. Over the years, since I got my first guinea pig (I got my first guinea pig in the summer of 2014), I have found through research, that this is one of the most highly recommended pellets for young guinea pigs. I find that oftentimes, my guinea pigs WILL prefer pellets that have colored bits, or even dehydrated veggies, mixed in. However, that is not necessarily what is best for them. Many times, pellets with colorful/dyed pieces mixed in tend to be the equivalent of junk food.Dehydrated peas, which are mixed into some pellets, contain loads of calcium and feeding too many can lead to piggies developing problem with bladder stones later on. Carrots are fine here and there, but they can contain larger amounts of sugar than you'd want to feed on a regular basis so that is something to think about when selecting a brand of guinea pig pellets.If you are feeding your guinea pigs the recommended diet of unlimited hay, 1 cup of veggies daily, and 1/8 cup of pellets, then a pellet like this one is all you need. Oxbow also makes pellets for adult guinea pigs which are Timothy hay-based. Adult guinea pigs do better on a Timothy based pellet as alfalfa contains high levels of calcium, which can also lead to stones.All that being said, I recommend this food for young guinea pigs. If you are currently feeding a different brand with colorful bits, then you can slowly transition them to this, or something comparable, by slowly mixing some in with their old food until they are completely switched over. They may snub it at first (mine did), but as long as they are getting unlimited hay and their daily serving of veggies, they should be fine until they start eating these pellets. I encourage you to research the foods you are providing your guinea pig(s) so that you don't have to spend loads of money on vet bills in the future. I am only saying this from experience. I currently have a guinea pig who is recovering from issues with bladder sludge (possibly genetic, possibly from too much calcium intake) and it has been a long and expensive ordeal.
