My guinea pig won't eat pellets. What's the best food for her?

Question

Is there a brand of food that dont contain the pellets, I've noticed that my guinea pig doesn't like eating the pellets in her food...she eats everything but the pellets & we end up throwing the pellets out so we refill her dish...we give her hay as well but I'm worried that she might not be getting enough food...she's not losing weight so far.

It's actually really important for your Guinea pig to eat some pellets. They get addicted to the junk in the pellets and quit eating the plain pellets. They should eat lots of Timothy hay, some fresh veggies like bell peppers, romaine, cilantro and endive and some plain pellets daily. I like Oxbow as a brand best but any Timothy based, adult GP food with no junk is ok.
