Description
Oxbow Essentials Young Guinea Pig Food 2.25kg – the growing formula that builds strong, healthy piggies
Oxbow Essentials Young Guinea Pig Food 2.25kg is specially formulated for guinea pigs under 6 months when they need extra protein and fibre for rapid growth and development. The oxbow essentials young guinea pig food uses premium timothy grass as the base, delivering higher protein levels than adult formulas while still providing stabilised vitamin C to prevent scurvy and support strong bones, teeth and immune health.
The generous 2.25kg resealable bag gives 4–6 weeks supply for 1–2 young guinea pigs, making it fantastic value during this important stage. Owners love how their babies thrive on the oxbow essentials young guinea pig food – shiny coats, good weight gain and strong appetites. The pellet size is perfect for small mouths, and the taste is so appealing that even picky eaters dive right in. Transition to the adult formula at 6 months is smooth and easy.

Nutritionally balanced and complete, pelleted feed avoids preferential eating. Will be buying again. The guinea pigs love it 🙂
