Oxbow Essentials Young Guinea Pig Food

Oxbow Essentials Young Guinea Pig Food is a complete and balanced pelleted diet specially formulated for young guinea pigs up to 6 months of age. Made with high-quality alfalfa, this premium formula provides the ideal balance of high fiber, high protein, and low fat to support healthy growth, strong bones and muscles, and optimal digestive health during the early stages of life.

Key Features & Benefits

• Alfalfa-Based Formula
  Made with alfalfa as the primary ingredient, providing the energy, minimum 18% protein, and calcium needed to support healthy muscle development and strong bones in growing guinea pigs.
  
• Fortified with Stabilized Vitamin C
  Guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C, so this formula is enriched with stabilized Vitamin C (minimum 400 mg/kg) to help support immune function and prevent Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy).
  
• High Fiber for Digestive Health
  Contains 18–23% crude fiber, essential for maintaining healthy digestion and normal gastrointestinal motility.

  Uniform pellets provide complete and balanced nutrition in every bite, helping prevent selective feeding and ensuring consistent nutrient intake.
