Why all-in-one for guinea pigs?
With all-in-one pellets, each pellet is the same. This is helpful if your guinea pig tends to leave certain parts untouched. It keeps the base of their diet more consistent. Always combine this with plenty of hay (the main source of fiber) and vegetables for variety.
Feeding & use
Provide an appropriate amount daily based on weight, condition, and activity. Many guinea pigs eat roughly 30–50 grams of pellets per day, but it's always a matter of individual needs. Ideally, divide the pellets into two portions and monitor their eating habits (is any food consistently left behind, or is everything properly eaten?).
Practical daily portion (guideline)
| Guinea pig weight | Daily portion of chunks | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 700–900 g | ± 30 g | Many hay eaters often sit at the bottom. |
| 900–1200 g | ± 35–40 g | Pay attention to condition and activity. |
| 1200 g and heavier | ± 40–50 g | Adjust if your guinea pig gains or loses weight. |

DRD CALCULATION CARD – How long will this bag last?
Formula: content in grams ÷ daily portion in grams = number of days (for 2 guinea pigs you divide this by approximately 2).
In short
- Handy for planning: 1.5 kg = 1500 grams.
- Allow 30–50 g per day per guinea pig (depending on weight/condition).
- Unlimited hay remains the basis of the menu.

FAQ
Is Supreme Selective Guinea Pig a complete staple food?
Yes, this is a complete guinea pig food in pellet form. Hay remains the basis of the diet, supplemented with a small daily portion of vegetables.
Why is this an all-in-one chunk?
Each piece has the same composition. This makes selective eating (removing only the favorite parts) less appealing and keeps the nutritional base more consistent.
How much vitamin C is in it?
This food contains added vitamin C (800 mg/kg), which meets the daily needs of guinea pigs.
What is the best way to switch to this food?
Mix the new food gently with the old food for 10–14 days, gradually increasing the intake. This allows your guinea pig to adjust and ensures a smooth transition for their digestion.
Is this food suitable if my guinea pig was previously fed a lot of sweet mixes?
That's possible, but some guinea pigs need some time to adjust to a food without added sugars. Gradually increasing the intake and feeding consistently usually helps.
Which packaging is useful: 1.5 kg, 3 kg or 10 kg?
1.5 kg is good to try, 3 kg is practical for one or two guinea pigs and 10 kg is useful for multiple guinea pigs or if you like to plan ahead.

blijkbaar hebben ze het gewijzigd naar grotere korrels. Mijn cavia's eten dat niet zo graag meer. verbrokkeld nu nog sneller. Spijtig. Op zoek naar een nieuw voer

Het laatste pak wat ik kocht had veel grotere brokken. Dit eten mijn cavia' s minder goed.

Onze zeer kieskeurige cavia’s eten dit het beste. Geen mogelijkheid om het lekkerste eruit te pikken. Enig nadeel, het voer verkruimelt snel, en die kruimels laten ze liggen.

De cavia's vinden het lekker. De dierenarts complimenteert ons dat zij er -door het goede voer- goed uitzien, met een mooie glimmende vacht. De cavia's komen van de opvang. Toen wij de cavia gingen halen bij de opvang, hebben we voer meegekregen zodat ze iets vertrouwd hadden en konden acclimatiseren aan de nieuwe omgeving... Ze heeft er geen hap van genomen, want er stond ook een bakje Balance...
