Which of those food is the best to feed a guinea pig?

Answers:

Personally, I'd say none.

My piggies get Cavy Cuisine by Oxbow. This is a Timothy based pellet with stabilized Vitamin C. It is fresh & specially formulated for the dietary needs of guinea pigs. You can order it online at http://www.oxbowhay.com/index.sp... or sometimes, a vet in your area may carry it. You have to do the search option on the website to find out.

Another excellet pellet is made by Kleenmama. It can be ordered online only at http://www.kmshayloft.com/ .

I highly recommend either one. Stay away from any commercial pellets that contain seeds or colored bits. See http://www.guinealynx.info/diet.html... for proper diet guidelines for cavies.

Its great you're doing your research & asking questions! ;-)

Justified gave great info. I'm going to add onto it by saying that I don't have any pet stores by me that sell Oxbow (I know I can buy it online but the shipping price is outrageous!) brand.

I buy Kaytee Timothy Complete from Petsmart. Maybe not the *choiciest*, but it's what's immediately available to me, and it's Timothy hay-based, and doesn't have any seeds and extra "crunchies" in it. My pigs like it, and I haven't had any health problems. However, the boys also get their daily veggies, too.

Definitely consider checking out Guinea Lynx's website on nutrition (as posted by Justified). I refer to it fairly often!
