I have two guinea pigs and I've been finding it most difficult to find suitable pellets for them. All I can find are those typical guinea pig mixes (made up of corn, oats, wheat, peas, alfaalfa, soy) which is like feeding your guinea pig hamburger and fries Finally I found one vet that was selling pellets, made from alfalfa, not the best but better than a mix, I would prefer pellets made from timothy hay, since alfalfa pellets should only be fed to young guinea pigs. Well I sent them an order yesterday and they told me they are not selling the pellets any more and offered me Gerty guinea pig mix instead. I told them that food was rubbish, thanks but no thanks.
So I don't know what to do. I can't go pelletless because I don't have enough fresh salad available. I don't want to feed my guineas hamburgers and fries either Iceland is really strict about importing pet food and I would need a certification from a vet if I was to order online from another country. I guess I will just have to feed them a mix and then build a hurtle course for them to run through to burn the extra fat so they wont get chubby.
As you can see they are not the slimmest sisters around
