Well, guinea pigs can be finicky so find out what food he had when he was at the pet store. Guinea pigs need pellets so make sure he as plenty. Also empty out the pellets and put completely new pellets in there once ever 2 weeks about. Unless your piggie likes to play and sit in his food (which is normal depending on the pig) than clean it more often.
