Hello all, Body clock is all over the place currently due to work! However, I was wondering what people’s thoughts are on these products? I read that the oxbow urinary support tablets are better? I also read on the packet of the oxbow ones that it’s not intended for growing Guniea pigs? Does...

Hello i am considering some 8 week old boars, what is the best pellets to give them? I read in the care guide Alfalfa based. With 3 choices on the chart but the only one i can seem to find is the science selective alfalfa meal based one. Are the any others or is this the best option.. Many thanks

Thanks, it's the science selective herbivore recovery food and the emeraid intensive care

Naughty Mabel but when the opportunity presents itself… She’s got good self-preservation skills when she gets stuck!

Another vote for Science selective grain free here!

Great that you’re giving them filtered water. I give my 2 roughly a tablespoon of pellets between them as you are doing. I use Science Selective grain free. An occasional slither of carrot is fine - it’s the sugar that’s the issue there, as it is with fruit. Other veggies that can be fed are...

...expert of the forum for a second opinion 😊 Our piggies diet is the following: - no-limit hay, a mix of Timothy (either supreme science selective health or Timothy hay from Little hay company, depending on availability) and a softer, slightly less fiber hay from Little hay company. The mix...

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but our latest bag of Science Selective nuggets are smaller than usual in nugget size and so my piggies are convinced I'm trying to poison them and refusing to eat them. I was thinking of trying them on Burgess excel indoor nuggets because they have...

Thanks @Merab! I was wondering if something like a Brita filters the calcium. I don't think it's something we need to do as our diet is pretty low calcium, aside from the question mark of the hay. I also think Ginny pretty much eats a tablespoon of pellets a day, tho we have been giving enough...

...as are the filters - I have a Brita one Sounds like the boys are settling in well always have 2 of everything - scatter the veg as it’s more fun to find etc I also use the science selective pellets (the grain free one) Poops and used hay make great garden compost We love lots of photos

I’ve tried Emeraid and Science Selective Recovery Plus for piggies of mine who have needed syringe feeding x

Any nugget which is Timothy hay or grass based. Something like science selective grain free is well recommended as a commercial product. The best I could recommend would be piggie parcels pellets - they are purely grass based. Piggie parcels is a company run by a member is this forum. (I don’t...

Yes you can if you haven't got already any other form of glucosamine to give them. But you can only give one source of glucosamine additive at once. It takes several weeks to build up gradually in the body so please do not panic if you have to wait a few days. Glucosamine is not an instant...

...but have become slightly more optimistic these past few days, mainly due to stumbling on the discovery that he will take soaked Science Selective nuggets from the syringe, I mixed some of the Critical Care in and add water. Start of week he would not take anything, started to make a really...

Hi thank you so much. I'm glad to hear that some of what I had been thinking makes sense. I'll take a look at the pages, can you recommend a recovery feed? He could not tolerate the science selective one that the vets gave me!

...a paper saying that too much vit d in guinaepigd can cause renal cysts and noticed that many of the more well known brands e.g. science selective and Burgess have twice the recommended daily amount for adults. (2k) I've found oxbow and Johnson's both containing 1k vit d so hoping this may do...

...over food, different to his, do we give them half and half tonight? I know you should do 75% 25 but it will be a different food for both of them? So 50 50 seems the only possibility. At some point I plan to change them to grain free but right now they are still having science selective normal.

Hello. I feed lettuce pepper cucumber and a green bean every day - sometimes forage dried or other and supper every night but is once a week of celery leaves, willow leaves , mint and coriander ( that’s 2- 3 times a week) They have science ( grain free ) selective pellets and piggy parcel...

...and I don't give her any of the manufactured treats. The only thing I think I need to change is her pellets, she is currently on science selective grain free which she loves, but I am aware it has timothy hay in. Any suggestions on alternatives with no timothy hay in? She is a 3-4 year old...

Mine love the Science Selective grain free pellets but they only get a small handful per day between them. I know a number of members have piggies who love the pellets made by Piggies Parcels
