## Overview

Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food is a high-fiber, Timothy hay-based pellet designed specifically for adult guinea pigs. It features stabilized Vitamin C and antioxidants to support immune health, an optimal calcium-phosphorus balance for bone strength, and uniform pellets to prevent selective feeding. Developed with veterinary expertise, this fortified formula promotes digestion, vitality, and overall well-being, making it a top-tier choice for conscientious pet owners.

## Description

Oxbow's Essentials, Adult Guinea Pig Food is made from timothy grass meal, which includes the high fiber adult guinea pigs need. However, it contains a lower level of protein, calories and calcium than alfalfa, based pellets. Adult animals’ digestive systems do not require the same level as that of younger animals. Essentials, Adult Guinea Pig contains stabilized Vitamin C and an optimal calcium, to, phosphorus ratio that helps maintain a healthy body. When fed with Oxbow grass hays and treats, Essentials, Adult Guinea Pig provides complete stabilized nutrition. Although Essentials, Adult Guinea Pig Food is an excellent complete feed for guinea pigs, unlimited access to fresh grass hay should also be provided. Adult Guinea Pig Food is not intended for growing, gestating or lactating animals. Feed Essentials, Young Guinea Pig to guinea pigs requiring a higher level of nutrition.

Review: Si estás empezando en el mundo de las cobayas, esto es para ti. Y si llevas un tiempo y dudas si cambiar tu pienso habitual, también es para ti. En cualquiera de las opciones, hazlo, cambia a este. No me pagan creerme jajajaj pero si me fio muchísimo de mi veterinaria de exóticos, una excelente profesional que es súper cariñosa y dedicada con estos animalitos. Y he investigado muchísimo personalmente, llego siempre a la misma conclusión, este es el mejor. Yo ya hice el cambio antes de conocerla, y cuando me preguntó sobre la rutina de mis cobayas y como eran sus cuidados, se quedó asombrada cuando le dije que usaba este, literalmente me dijo: es el Brad Pitt de los piensos. Nunca me olvidaré de eso jajajaja Obviamente hay que combinarlo con una buena dieta, ejercicio, un buen recinto, heno de calidad, sus revisiones. Pero creerme que con solo hacer el cambio vuestros animalitos lo notarán muchísimo, es más caro pero es la mejor inversión. Lo notaréis ahora y a largo plazo, su vida vale mucho y literalmente esto les puede hacer una gran diferencia. Mi veterinaria sigue buscando conseguirlo para que sea más accesible en las tiendas, y aunque ella se fastidie con las ventas de lo que tienen en la clínica, siempre recomienda que sigamos comprando este aunque no sea a ella. Solo un hospital de exóticos lo vende en mi zona (He vivivido en varios sitios de España y es la primera vez que lo veo en físico, eso es mucho decir). El resto es imposible a no ser que lo pidas en desertcart, en nuestra zona. Con todo esto, espero que os ayude, nuestra humilde experiencia es que es una de las mejores decisiones que tomamos nosotros para nuestros peques, que al fin y al cabo son parte de la familia.
Review: Our 3 piggies love these pellets and gets them as treats.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What role does fortified food play in the overall nutrition of guinea pigs?**
A: Your guinea pig requires daily amounts of essential vitamins and minerals to stay healthy and happy. Our premium, proven Essentials formulas contain 100% of your guinea pig’s daily recommended vitamins and minerals to support whole-body health.

**Q: I currently feed a mix. Why is it important to provide uniform nutrition to guinea pigs?**

**Q: What makes Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig special?**
A: All Oxbow foods are formulated with the help of leading exotics veterinarians and nutritionists. Essentials Adult Guinea Pig was the first timothy hay-based food on the market and continues to set the standard in premium nutrition for guinea pigs.

**Q: What is the shelf-life of Essentials Adult Guinea Pig?**
A: Essentials Adult Guinea Pig has a guaranteed shelf life of 2 years unopened. We recommend storing this product in a dry, climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight and using within 60 days of opening.
