What food do you feed your guinea-pigs? I feed mine Johnsons Guinea-Pig Food which is a mix. I'm hoping to swap them onto pellets in the future because I think they're better. |

I feed my cavies a mix of Gerty Guinea and the Excel food for Guineas (orange bag). They eat everything up, so I like to give them a mix so they don't get bored- I just try to imagine how I would feel eating the same pellet over and over again, for my whole life. Of course they also get huge amounts of veggies and fruits to keep them happy- again varied. They also get different types of hay, meadow hay, readigrass, oxbow botanical hay etc, rotated around to keep them interested.

My piggy is now eating Super Premium Guinea pig blend- wild harvest. I haven't given it to her before, but the feed store is so far away so I picked this bag up at walmart for now. |

I really hate the mix my guinea-pigs are on now, I've read the back of the bag yesterday and the food I feed them now is full of sugar and seeds. I went to the pet shop today and bought a small bag of Burgess Excel (same orange bag one as you feed ktmac15) I'm going to try some tonight with their mix and see if they eat it, if they do I'll gradually swap them onto it |
