Supreme Selective Naturals Botanicals Guinea Pig Food is a high-fiber guinea pig food with timothy hay, vitamin C, and botanical herbs such as mint, thyme, basil, parsley, and dandelion. The pellets come in various shapes, making mealtime just a little more interesting for guinea pigs who love to sniff, search, pick, and nibble.
This food is well-suited for owners who want to provide a clear daily dry diet, but at the same time seek more scent, flavor, and foraging experience than with a standard, uniform kibble. Hay naturally remains the most important basis of the guinea pig diet, but an appropriate kibble portion helps keep the daily feeding organized, practical, and easy to portion.
✔ High-fiber guinea pig food with 18% crude fiber
✔ With timothy hay and a mix of botanical herbs
✔ With vitamin C, because guinea pigs need this through their diet
✔ Different pellet shapes stimulate natural foraging behavior
✔ Consistent nutritional value per bite, so that selective eating is limited
✔ Without added sugars, artificial colors, and artificial flavors
Supreme Selective Botanicals Cavia is intended for guinea pigs. The composition, vitamin C supplementation, and feeding guidelines are tailored to guinea pigs and fit within a daily routine with plenty of hay, a measured portion of pellets, vegetables, and clean drinking water.
Are you looking for food for mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, rabbits, chinchillas, or degus? Then it is better to choose food that is specifically suited to that species. Guinea pigs have specific nutritional needs, partly due to their requirement for vitamin C through their diet.
Guinea pigs are true grazers and spend a large part of the day eating, foraging, and nibbling. Supreme Selective Botanicals caters to this with a combination of fiber-rich ingredients and botanical herbs. The different pellet shapes ensure that your guinea pig doesn't just get a standard bowl of pellets, but also experiences more scent, texture, and variety.
This makes this food particularly interesting for owners who like to find a good middle ground: the clarity of a kibble, but with a natural appearance and variety of herbs. Furthermore, the consistent nutritional value per bite helps to limit selective eating, as your guinea pig cannot simply pick out the tastiest pieces from the food.
For an adult guinea pig, Supreme recommends approximately 40–50 grams of Selective Botanicals per day. Always adjust the portion based on your guinea pig's age, activity level, condition, hay intake, vegetables, and the rest of its diet.
| Guinea pig | Guideline per day | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Adult guinea pig | 40–50 grams per day | Combine with unlimited hay and a suitable daily vegetable routine. |
| Less active or smaller guinea pig | Often towards the lower end of the guideline | Pay attention to condition, droppings, and how much hay your guinea pig continues to eat. |
| Active or larger guinea pig | Often towards the upper end of the guideline | Adjust gradually and prevent pellets from compromising hay intake. |
Always introduce new food gradually. Mix the new food with the old food for several days and slowly increase the ratio. This allows your guinea pig to get used to the new smell, taste, and composition.
A bag of Supreme Selective Botanicals contains 1.5 kg of food. Because guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept with other guinea pigs, we calculate this as 2 guinea pigs.
| Situation | Guideline |
|---|---|
| 2 guinea pigs together at 80 g per day | about 18–19 days |
| 2 guinea pigs at a total of 100 g per day | about 15 days |
| For comparison: 1 guinea pig at 40 g per day | about 37 days |
| For comparison: 1 guinea pig at 50 g per day | about 30 days |
This is a practical indication. Spillage, feed changes, size, age, vegetables, and activity can influence actual consumption.

Is your guinea pig eating less, pooping noticeably differently, losing weight, or do you have concerns about its health? Then contact a veterinarian.
For which animals is Supreme Selective Botanicals Cavia suitable?
This food is suitable for guinea pigs. For other animal species, it is preferable to choose food specifically tailored to that species.
How much Supreme Selective Botanicals do you give per day?
For an adult guinea pig, Supreme recommends approximately 40–50 grams per day. Adjust the portion based on age, activity, condition, hay intake, and the rest of the diet.
Why is there vitamin C in this guinea pig food?
Guinea pigs do not produce vitamin C themselves and need vitamin C through their diet. This food therefore contains added vitamin C.
Is this feed grain-free?
No, this feed is not grain-free. The composition contains wheat, among other things.
Why are there different chunk shapes in it?
The different shapes make mealtime more interesting and encourage more foraging behavior. Your guinea pig has to search and choose a bit more, while the nutritional value per bite remains consistent.
Should I mix this feed when switching feeds?
Yes, introduce new food gradually by mixing it with the old food for several days. This way, your guinea pig can get used to the new smell, taste, and composition.
When should I contact a veterinarian?
Contact a veterinarian if your guinea pig is not eating, is dropping less or abnormally, is lethargic, is losing weight, or if you have any doubts about its health, medication, or treatment.
