Is this food good?

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if this food is healthy for Guinea pigs. I will post the ingredients below. It is from doctor foster and smith it’s a Timothy based pellet. Thank you so much.

I personally wouldn’t use it because of the dried fruits, sugars and cereals which are in it. None of which are good for piggies.
A plain hay based pellet with nothing else added (dried fruits for example) is best.

I've heard to just get the plain, "boring-looking" pellets with nothing else added (like the dried fruits, fun shaped sugars, etc.)

Thank you guys for the advice.

I am pretty sure just the boring pellets are the best. You can add fresh the fruits and vegetables yourself. Though you should only do fruits like once a week.

There is a helpful chart here which compares the various nugget style foods on the market
Nugget Comparison Chart

And there is an excellent general diet guide here:
Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diets

Maybe those will help you decide on a balanced diet for your guinea pig.
I am the first to admit that it can be a bit overwhelming sometimes with so many options, most of which claim to be the best (of course).
