Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the main fiber sources in this formula?

Ans: The first three ingredients – Timothy, Oat, and Orchard grass – provide high fiber for digestive health and enrichment.

Q2: How does stabilized vitamin C benefit guinea pigs?

Ans: Guinea pigs cannot synthesize vitamin C, so stabilized ascorbic acid prevents deficiency and supports immune function.

Q3: Can I feed this to pregnant guinea pigs?

Ans: No. This adult formula is not suitable for pregnant or nursing sows; use the Young Guinea Pig Food during those life stages.

Q4: Why choose Garden Select over the Essentials adult formula?

Ans: Garden Select offers added garden-inspired ingredients and prebiotics for flavor variety and gut health, while Essentials focuses on a classic pellet profile.

Q5: How long can I store an opened bag?

Ans: When stored in a cool, dry, resealed bag or airtight container, pellets remain fresh for 4-6 weeks. Always check for spoilage before feeding.
