What is the difference between the three adult guinea pig pellets?

There are two adult timothy foods and our original 50/50 blend of timothy and alfalfa as well and which would be best may depend on you and your pig's habits.

The concentrated pellet in the green bag is very dense in nutrition and should be fed in very small measured amounts based on weight making it great for guinea pigs who eat a lot of hay. A guinea pig may only get around 1 TBS per day of food.

The free choice timothy pellet in the blue bag is more flexible in that it can be fed at a minimum of 1 TBS per pound, fed freely, or anywhere in between. This food is basically the same formula as the other but diluted down with a lot more timothy hay so that they can eat more of it which makes it great for pigs who may not be good hay eaters, for pairs or groups where monitoring their intake is tough or even for people who love to be able to feed a bit extra.
Adult Free-Choice Guinea Pig Food, Timothy Pellet

Our original guinea pig pellets are a 50/50 blend of timothy and alfalfa which is still a great option for preventing and solving many common health issues such as stones and sludge and is fed the same way as the free choice timothy. This one can be a great option for those who prefer this flavor over the timothy version.
