I personally use gerty guinea pig (a guinea pig mix) and either a few pets at home guinea pig pellets or super guinea excel thrown in

I always check the label on whatever i buy aswell to make sure it doesn't contain any mollasses. Thats why i mainly avoid giving them chinchilla pellets as most contain them (a few brands don't i know pets at home don't) and mollasses are best off avoided with degus

Mine get a mix of p@h chin pellets and gertie guinea pig, mainly cos they live with three chinchillas. I'm not sure they eat much of the chin pellets though, they prefer the guinea pig food 
Don't forget they should always have good quality hay such as timothy hay available to them as well  |
