Guinea pigs have one of the most specialised digestive systems among small pets. Their gut is designed to process a constant intake of fibrous plant material throughout the day, and their overall health depends on getting the right type of nutrition. While unlimited high-quality hay should always form the foundation of their diet, a well-formulated pellet can play a crucial supporting role. That is where Fibre Feast Guinea Pig Pellets come in.
Designed for Guinea Pigs, Not Just Made for Them
Fibre Feast is specifically developed for guinea pigs by veterinarians using 100 percent New Zealand grown ingredients. Every ingredient in this pellet has a purpose, with nothing included simply to bulk up the bag.
At the centre of the formulation is timothy hay, chosen for its naturally high fibre and ideal nutrient profile for cavies. This is complemented by lucerne hay, peas, and flaxseed, creating a balanced blend of healthy fats, quality proteins, and structural fibre.
What Makes Fibre Feast Different
The composition of this pellet reflects a true understanding of guinea pig nutrition. It contains naturally high fibre to support healthy gut motility and digestion. The low calcium plant content helps maintain a healthy balance in the digestive and urinary systems. The pellets are cold-pressed, preserving nutrient integrity and improving palatability without the need for artificial additives.
Balanced Vitamins, Minerals, and Digestive Support
Fibre Feast goes beyond fibre. It includes a veterinarian-designed blend of essential vitamins, including vitamin C, which guinea pigs cannot produce themselves. Minerals are balanced to provide the correct calcium to phosphorus ratio. Prebiotics and probiotics, such as MOS and inulin, support a stable gut microbiome. Amino acids and antioxidants help support muscle maintenance, immune function, and overall vitality. Each pellet not only promotes healthy digestion but also supports overall bodily function.
What You Won’t Find in Fibre Feast
Quality is not only about what is included but also what is left out. Fibre Feast contains no fillers, no grain, no soy, and no artificial colours. Every ingredient adds real nutritional value rather than simply increasing volume.
A Truly New Zealand Pellet
Fibre Feast is 100 percent New Zealand made, crafted from ingredients grown in Otago and produced to maintain consistency and quality. This local sourcing ensures traceability and ingredient integrity.
Typical Nutritional Composition
According to the typical analysis, Fibre Feast contains:
- Beneficial fibre: 45 percent
- Crude fibre: 25 percent
- Crude protein: 14 percent
- Fat: 2.5 percent
- Ash: 7 percent
- Calcium: 0.6 percent
- Phosphate: 0.35 percent
- Metabolisable energy: 9 MJ/kg/DM
This profile reflects a high-fibre, moderate nutrient pellet suitable for daily feeding alongside unlimited hay and fresh water.
Feeding Guidelines
Even though Fibre Feast is a complete feed, hay should always remain available. Recommended amounts are:
- Small guinea pigs: approximately 45 grams per day (about one quarter cup)
- Large guinea pigs: approximately 60 grams per day (about one third cup)
When introducing Fibre Feast, it is best to transition gradually over 2–3 weeks. Start with around 10 percent of the new pellet mixed with the old feed and slowly increase the proportion until the diet consists entirely of Fibre Feast. Monitor weight and condition, and seek veterinary advice if there are any concerns.
