Teenage Guinea Pig
I never really put much thought into guinea pig pellets when I was a kid because, well, I was kid... But now that I have pigs as an adult it's like there's a whole new guinea pig diet world out there! I started my pigs off on oxbow guinea pig pellets as that's what they were being fed at their previous home and once that bag was done, I made the mistake of getting one of those food plus treats added pellets and though the pigs went crazy for it, they only ate the "treats" which I'm sure isn't giving them what they need from a pellet. Anyways, I picked up a new brand of pellets from Walmart of all places called Harrington's and they go bonkers for it! As far as I can tell it doesn't contain a ridiculous amount of calcium and it has the added vitamin C. There isn't any waste of the food anymore and they seem content with it. They get their timothy hay daily as well as fresh veggies in the evening and sometimes as a treat I will give them a little bit of alfalfa cubes. Has anyone used this brand Harrington's before? Apparently it's British and I figure if Walmart is going to buy imported guinea pig food for Canada it could be because it's a good product? Any reviews would be appreciated!
