Peckish Guinea Pig & Rabbit Pellets – Daily Feed (3.5kg)

Peckish Guinea Pig & Rabbit Pellets are a uniform, high-fibre daily feed in a 3.5kg bag. The advantage of a single-pellet feed over a muesli-style mix is straightforward: every pellet is identical, so your rabbit or guinea pig can’t pick out its favourites and leave the rest. What you measure out is what they actually eat. For a fussy or selective feeder, that alone makes pellets the easier option.

How to feed

Serve in a clean dish and top up daily. Pellets are a daily supplement, not the main event — unlimited fresh grass hay and clean drinking water should be available at all times. If you’re moving your pet across from another feed, change over gradually across a week or so rather than all at once; small herbivore guts don’t respond well to sudden diet changes.

Good to know: storing a 3.5kg bag through an Australian summer

A big bag is good value only if the last of it is as good as the first. Heat and humidity are what spoil pelleted feed, so decant it into a sealed airtight container and keep it somewhere cool and dark rather than leaving it open in a shed or a hot laundry. If it ever smells musty or looks discoloured, throw it out.

Common questions

How much should I feed per day?
Follow the guidance on the pack, and remember that pellets are the smaller part of the diet. A common mistake is free-feeding pellets, which fills a rabbit up so it eats less hay — the exact opposite of what you want.

Does this cover my guinea pig’s vitamin C?
Guinea pigs can’t make their own vitamin C and need a daily source. Most owners cover it with fresh leafy greens, or by choosing a pellet that’s specifically fortified with stabilised vitamin C, such as Vetafarm Cavy Origins. It’s worth being deliberate about rather than assuming.

Can rabbits and guinea pigs share it?
The formula is made for both, so a mixed household can feed the one bag.
