"You will never fail to feed your Guinea pigs."
"I have a 12 year old lion head lop who eats some critical care daily as part of his diet-I rotate flavours for him to keep things interesting, and he enjoys the apple and banana one. I love that I can stock up and order a few bags online to have on hand."
