Guinea pig all-in-one chunks & pellet food – complete, predictable and without selective eating
Want to provide a clear overview of guinea pig food without your guinea pig picking out the "tastiest bits" from a mix? Then all-in-one chunks/pellets (complete grains) are a smart starting point: every bite has the same composition. Ideal for guinea pigs that tend to be selective eaters, and convenient for you because feeding becomes simple and predictable. In this category, you'll find carefully selected all-in-one foods from brands that focus on the specific needs of guinea pigs, such as Bunny Nature CaviaDroom (including Basic/Flowers/Junior), Supreme Science Selective (also grain-free/Botanicals), Versele-Laga Complete, Beaphar Care+ and Beaphar Nature (grain-free), and JR Farm Grainless. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with practical help.
All-in-one pellets prevent your guinea pig from "picking and choosing." If you'd prefer a variety of forage in a mix, also consider mixed & natural guinea pig food (which can lead to selective eating in some guinea pigs).
Hay is the foundation (always available), and pellets are given as a fixed portion. Start immediately with good quality guinea pig hay and offer it practically with hay racks .
Sturdy feeding and watering stations prevent spills and make it easy to maintain a routine. View food bowls , water bottles, and water bowls .
Base: hay (always) + all-in-one pellets as a fixed portion
Guinea pigs are true "grazers" who enjoy nibbling on small bites throughout the day. Therefore, the most practical and recognizable setup is:
- Hay always available (preferably in several places in a group): guinea pig hay + hay racks .
- All-in-one chunks/pellets as a fixed daily portion (guideline: follow packaging, adjust to your guinea pigs and your routine).
- Fresh water (clean and easily accessible): drinking solutions .

Why choose all-in-one pellets?
All-in-one food is popular because it solves three “problems” in one fell swoop:
- Less selective eating : there are no separate “tasty” parts to fish out.
- Predictable per portion : handy if you work with a fixed routine (especially on busy days or with children helping out).
- Peace of mind at the food bowl : less leftovers, less waste, faster cleaning.
Tip: Combine pellets with variety outside the food bowl . Consider a pick of fresh herbs , a little dried guinea pig herb , or a clever foraging activity through play and foraging .
Which all-in-one is right for your guinea pigs?
This category features several top brands side by side. You can choose based on your preferences (composition, "green" profile, age, flavor):
- For “simply good and clear” : complete all-in-one basic foods (useful as a daily standard).
- For young guinea pigs : junior varieties (such as in the Bunny Nature CaviaDroom line) that suit a growth phase.
- Grain-free within all-in-one : if you consciously want to choose a grain-free route (you will find grain-free options in this category; if you want to compare more broadly, also look at grain-free guinea pig food ).
- With extra “botanicals/flowers” : for owners who appreciate a natural experience, but still want the predictability of pellets (such as Botanicals/Flower variants).
Foraging tip (in addition to your pellets): Want variety without cluttering your existing diet? Turn "extras" into a foraging activity. The Rodent Grocer Foraging Menu for guinea pigs is a fun way to introduce natural scents and textures. Combine this with gnawing materials and treats (small and carefully) for a satisfying routine.
Vitamin C in guinea pig food: what should you pay attention to in practice?
Guinea pigs don't produce their own vitamin C. Therefore, it's important to always choose guinea pig-specific food (not "general rodent food"). Practical considerations:
- Check shelf life and choose packaging that suits your consumption.
- Store in a cool, dry place and tightly closed (vitamins remain most stable if you store food properly).
- Use hay as a base and add variety with fresh herbs and suitable vegetables (build it up slowly).
Switching & feeding: how to take it easy
Want to switch brands or types of all-in-ones? Build it up gradually so your guinea pigs can adjust:
- Day 1–2 : 75% old food / 25% new food
- Day 3–4 : 50% / 50%
- Day 5–7 : 25% / 75% → then completely new
Tip: Want to try a small sample first? This category also offers a sample bag (handy for seeing what your guinea pigs like without buying a large quantity right away).
Maintenance & hygiene (feeding area)
- Daily : remove leftovers, change the water and check that everything is easily accessible.
- Weekly : clean food and water bowls extra thoroughly (especially if you have multiple guinea pigs).
- Make feeding stable with feeding bowls and choose a drinking solution that is easy to clean: drinking bottles and water bowls .

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about All-in-One Guinea Pig Pellets
What is better: pellets (all-in-one) or mixed food?
Pellets are usually more predictable per portion and limit selective eating. Mixed foods can provide more variety, but some guinea pigs prefer the tastiest parts. Want to compare mixed foods? Check out mixed & natural guinea pig food .
How much all-in-one food do I give per day?
Follow the instructions on the packaging and pay attention to your guinea pigs and their routine. Keep the basics simple: hay always available, pellets as a ration, and clean and accessible water.
Do I still need to give vitamin C separately?
Always choose guinea pig-specific food (with vitamin C) and store it properly (dry/sealed). Not sure if your guinea pig is getting enough? Consult a veterinarian about what's right for your situation.
Can I alternate between different all-in-one brands?
That's possible, but don't switch too quickly. Build up changes gradually (see transition schedule) and keep the rest of your routine stable.
Why is there also a sample bag in this category?
Useful for first testing what your guinea pigs like or to start small without buying a large quantity straight away.
