About This Item

Pacific West Mills Guinea Pig Gourmet (often associated with Brown's Tropical Carnival or Extreme! Gourmet) is a vitamin-fortified food-and-treat mix featuring alfalfa/timothy hay pellets with dried fruits, veggies, and seeds, designed for daily nutrition with added Vitamin C and essential minerals, but remember pellets are supplementary, with quality hay as the diet's base.

Key Characteristics:

All-in-One: Functions as both food and a treat.
Base: Contains alfalfa and timothy hay pellets for fiber.
Add-ins: Includes dried fruits (papaya, pineapple, banana, apple), vegetables (carrot, sweet potato, celery), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin), and grains.
Fortified: Enriched with essential vitamins (especially Vitamin C), minerals, and sometimes DHA Omega-3s.
Flavor & Odor Control: May have added flavors and Yucca extract to reduce cage odors.

Important Considerations:

Hay is #1: Pellets are a supplement; unlimited, high-quality Timothy hay should always be the primary food.
Gourmet Mixes: While tasty, some gourmet mixes can be high in sugars from fruits; monitor portions for less active or overweight guinea pigs.
Quality Brands: Brands like Brown's (Tropical Carnival/Extreme!), Higgins (Sunburst), and Small Pet Select (Timothy Pellets) offer similar high-quality options.

In short, it's a flavorful, nutrient-packed supplement for your guinea pig, but always pair it with plenty of fresh hay and veggies for a balanced diet.
