FAQs - Oxbow Garden Select Adult Guinea Pig Food

What is so special about Oxbow Garden Select Adult Guinea Pig Food?

Oxbow Garden Select Adult Guinea Pig Food is uniquely formulated with high-fiber, non-GMO hays like Timothy, Oat, and Orchard grasses. This combination supports digestive health, while stabilized Vitamin C and natural prebiotics bolster immunity and nutrient absorption. Crafted with input from veterinarians, it provides complete, balanced nutrition without artificial additives, ensuring quality and natural goodness in every bite.

Can Oxbow Garden Select be mixed with other guinea pig foods?

Yes, Oxbow Garden Select can be mixed with other guinea pig foods. When transitioning, mix it gradually over four weeks to allow your pet to adjust to the new formula, ensuring a smoother dietary transition and minimizing digestive upset.

Does this food help prevent dental issues in guinea pigs?

Yes, Oxbow Garden Select supports dental health due to its high-fiber content from Timothy and other hays. The fiber encourages natural chewing, which wears down teeth, helping to prevent overgrowth and other dental problems commonly seen in guinea pigs.

Is Oxbow Garden Select suitable for guinea pigs with sensitive stomachs?

Yes, it’s generally well-tolerated by guinea pigs with sensitive stomachs. Its high-fiber content aids digestion, while natural prebiotics help maintain balanced gut bacteria. However, any dietary changes should be made gradually to avoid potential digestive issues.

How long does a bag of Oxbow Garden Select typically last?

The longevity of a bag depends on your guinea pig’s daily intake. For an adult guinea pig consuming the recommended 1/8 cup daily, a 4-pound bag provides approximately 128 servings, lasting around four months for one guinea pig when fed alongside unlimited hay.

Does this food support a guinea pig's immune system?

Yes, stabilized Vitamin C, essential antioxidants, and prebiotics in Oxbow Garden Select support the immune system, helping protect guinea pigs from common illnesses by strengthening their natural defenses and promoting overall wellness.

Is there a difference between Oxbow Garden Select and Oxbow Essentials?

Yes, while both are nutritionally complete, Oxbow Garden Select features a blend of non-GMO garden-inspired ingredients with natural herbs for enhanced flavor and digestibility. Essentials is a more basic formula, ideal for guinea pigs without specific dietary preferences.

Can Oxbow Garden Select help with guinea pig weight management?

Yes, the fiber-rich formula can aid in weight management by promoting satiety and preventing overeating. However, portion control, as well as regular exercise and unlimited hay, remain essential to maintaining a healthy weight.

Does this food provide all necessary nutrients if hay is limited?

While Oxbow Garden Select is nutritionally complete, unlimited hay is still necessary to meet the high fiber needs of guinea pigs. Hay contributes to dental and digestive health, making it an essential component of their diet alongside pellet food.

What happens if my guinea pig eats more than the recommended amount?

If a guinea pig consumes more than the recommended daily amount, they may experience mild digestive upset due to the rich formula. Monitor their intake, provide ample hay, and consult a veterinarian if overeating persists to ensure a balanced and healthy diet.
