Key Features & Benefits

• Timothy Grass-Based Formula
  Made with high-fiber, low-protein Timothy grass as the primary ingredient to support digestive health and help maintain a healthy body weight in adult guinea pigs.

  Guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C, so this formula is enriched with stabilized Vitamin C to help prevent Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) and support a healthy immune system.

  Contains 25–28% crude fiber, which is essential for maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function and promoting normal intestinal motility.

  Formulated with 14% minimum protein and an appropriate calcium level to help maintain optimal health and reduce the risk of nutrition-related issues in adult guinea pigs.
