Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What age guinea pig is this garden formula meant for?
Ans: Garden Select Adult Guinea Pig Food is designed for adult guinea pigs over six months old, once they've moved past their growth stage. It's not meant for young, active, pregnant, or nursing guinea pigs, who need a younger formula to better match their higher nutritional needs.
Q2: How much of this food should I feed my adult guinea pig each day?
Ans: The feeding guidance for Garden Select Adult Formula calls for 1/8 cup daily for adult guinea pigs over six months old. That amount should always be given alongside unlimited grass hay, since hay is meant to make up the larger share of an adult's diet.
Q3: Is this food suitable for pregnant or nursing guinea pigs?
Ans: No, Garden Select Guinea Pig Pellets aren't intended for young, active, pregnant, or nursing guinea pigs. Those pigs have higher energy and nutrient needs than a typical adult, so a younger formula is recommended for those life stages instead.
Q4: What makes this a garden-flavored guinea pig food?
Ans: Adult Guinea Pig Garden Formula includes whole yellow pea, tomato pomace, rosemary, and thyme mixed in alongside its three-hay base, giving it a distinct garden-fresh taste and smell compared to plainer hay-based recipes. These ingredients are blended directly into the uniform pellet rather than sold separately.
Q5: Is Garden Select Adult Guinea Pig Food non-GMO?
Ans: Yes, all Garden Select varieties, including Garden Select for Adult Guinea Pigs, are Non-GMO Project certified. That means every ingredient in the bag has been verified to avoid genetically engineered crops, based on the product information available for this line.
Q6: How do I switch my guinea pig to this food safely?
Ans: A gradual four-week switch to this garden-flavored guinea pig food is recommended to avoid digestive upset. Mix a quarter new food with three-quarters current food in week one, move to an even split in week two, mostly new food by week three, and feed exclusively by week four.
Q7: Why does this formula include vitamin C?
Ans: Guinea pigs can't produce their own vitamin C, so it always has to come from their diet, regardless of which formula they eat. Garden Select adult pellet adds stabilized vitamin C along with prebiotics, aiming to support whole-body health in addition to that essential nutrient requirement.
