Quality Recommendation : RECOMMENDED
As a pelleted food, Small Pet Select Premium Guinea Pig Food Pellets, won't harm your guinea pig from a nutritional standpoint although the protein level is a bit under what we would like to see. Fiber is high which makes sense for a cavy that should be eating plenty of hay as a primary part of its diet. There are no dangerous or cautionary ingredients on the label. As a pelleted food, variety is minimal.
