American Guinea Pig Food

[bea]

I've been doing a whole lot of research, and I've found a brand of food I absolutely would love to invest in however... it's only sold in the UK and the shipping on Amazon is CRAZY. Does anyone know of any american piggie foods that are the same or similar to the Rosewood Naturals Meadow Menu Guinea Pig Food? I want a very natural diet for them I already have my piggie garden planned so they'll be getting plenty of fresh forage. I just want them to be healthy.

Hello and welcome to Wheekers!

I'm in the UK but we have a few US members so I'm sure someone will be able to help you with the names of some quality products over there, but I do know Oxbow is a good brand if you can get that. For an adult pig, a small amount of a timothy-based pellet is best - hay is by far the most important part of their diet and I'm sure you won't have any problem tracking down some good quality and varied types of hay.

The piggy garden sounds great - lucky pigs indeed having their own plot!

Hello and welcome I don't know that food, but I use Oxbow Cavy Cuisine, or Essentials. It's the best of the brands available in my area.

If you want the very best, get pellets and hay at KMSHayloft.com. Fabulous, but pricey. The pellets and hay aren't expensive, but the shipping is. I'm in one of the most expensive areas to ship to, so it got too expensive for me.

Also, SmallPetSelect.com has great hay and pellets. Not quite as good at KMSHayloft, but also a bit less expensive.

The piggy garden sound great! Mine would love to pay you a visit, sample the veggies, and offer their opinions I hope to have a bit of a piggy garden, as we've moved to a house where we can have an outdoor garden. We have a short growing season, but even a summer of fresh veggies is better than nothing Good luck with the garden and the pellet hunt
