Does this food sound any good?

I came across this guinea pig feed, it's so completely unlike nuggets and pellets to look at. The link shows the ingredients and the nutrient composition. Does anyone have any thoughts if it's better or the same as nuggets?

Stay away, it's ingredients mention nuts and alfalfa hay, guinea pigs can't eat nuts and alfalfa ( a non grass hay) can cause bladder stones from too much calcium. Also it mentions it must be fed along side straw and hay. Guinea pigs don't eat straw either. So they don't know alot about Guinea pigs atall.

Ok. Thanks! It seemed to have more vitamin C and more crude fibre than my Twitch guinea pig nuggets. It just looked a more natural product in the pic too

This is incorrect. The ingredient you are reading is one ingredient. It's not alfalfa and nuts, it's alfalfa nuts. Though I don't actually know what they are but I'm sure they aren't nuts

I looked at this one last year. I buy my meadow hay from them so it would have been very convienient to order together but I didn't like the look of some of the ingredients. The alfalfa was a slight concern but it's not much so I think the calcium content would be similar to nuggets. Lots of nuggets contain a small amount of alfalfa it's very difficult to find one that's perfect!
