Dilly's Piggies
Teenage Guinea Pig
At the moment I'm using both, I've fed mine Oxbow adult for 2 years but recently supreme pet foods have sent me some of their grain free guinea pig food to try. So far I have very mixed opinions, I filled one bowl with Oxbow and the other with Science Selective, one herd prefers Science selective, the other herd prefers Oxbow, and some individuals don't mind and like both.
I'm just trying to research both of these pellets as much as I can and gather opinions on which pellet is the better choice for all of them. Price is not a deciding factor here, I just want the best food for them. Here's the information I've gathered so far:
