Oxbow Essentials Guinea Pig Food

Adult nutritional needs are different than those of animals in the growth stage of life. Oxbow Essentials pellet diets are high in fiber and are fortified with essential stabilized Vitamin C for optimum health. Ideal for pregnant, nursing, and growing guinea pigs, Alfalfa based Cavy Performance Young Guinea Pig diet contains the amino acids and nutrition required for growth. Each 1/8 cup of Cavy Performance contains 22 mg of Vitamin C. Timothy hay based Cavy Cuisine Adult Guinea Pig formula is ideal to feed as a maintenance diet for adult guinea pigs. Pellets, made with timothy grass meal, provide a lower level of protein, calories, and calcium than traditional alfalfa pellets. Cavy Cuisine's optimal calcium to phosphorus ratio also helps maintain a healthy urinary system. Pellets also provide balanced nutrition in every bite and prevent selective feeding behaviors.
