Hi I'm hoping you can help. I introduced my guinea pig to the Burgess excel food with mint but he hates it. I decided to try him on Burgess excel with blackcurrent. He hates that. I used to be able to buy the Burgess excel with plain nugget but I cant find it anymore. Has anyone got any suggestions please. Hes having fresh fruit and hay as well. Thanks
 
Harrington’s is a good all round pellet, but not sure if you can get this, are you based in the uk? veggies are better than fruit as fruit contains lots of sugars, fruit should be a treat once a week x
 
:agr: Have a good look at the nugget chart and feeding guides, they will help you make an informed choice that is also based on your budget and piggies needs :D
 
Hi there, My girls use to have Burgess until they added mint then they won't so kin. So i have put them on gain free Science Select ,it took a couple of weeks but now they love it. good luck finding the right one for your piggy :luv:
 
Another vote for the grain free Science Selective pellets - my two absolutely adore them!
 
Mine love the Science Selective grain free pellets. But like toddlers they do go off things at times.
 
What I don't get about science selective grain free is why do they only come in 2kg bags? I like to bulk buy :))
 
Wait actually it's just 1.5kg! I buy my science selective in 10kg bags
 
The bags of SS grain free used to look an ok size a year ago... but now we have 7 piggies and one is a starving skinny who hoovers up pellets like a bat-hippo-demon I think I may need to inform Amazon subscribe and save that we need more delivered every month! They are a great pellet though, piggies love them :)
 
My two loved the Burgess Mint and the Harringtons (Comet preferred the mint though...which was hilarious, because he didn't really like actual mint). They also hoovered up the Tesco ones I bought when I forgot to bring any of the others with me when I was in the south of England for three weeks. I was kind of miffed at that actually, the Tesco ones aren't great but my head was on a different planet at the time. Needs must and all that.
 
When i e mail the company they said they don't do bigger sacks in the gain free only the normal one. Why i don't know but its a pain when you have a few piggies on the pellets.
 
Well I had my piggies on science select grain free, Peanut (who's sadly passed away) and Solo. Thought great they're both eating them. Peanut passed away and I discovered Solo isn't eating them at all. Which means Peanut was eating 2 full dishes of nuggets every day. (I put in a single layer of pellets in each dish) :)):own::shh:

New adoptee humpty likes them but as solos not eating them we are going to be trying burgess oregano and blackcurrant again. The joys of fussy piggies. Lol.

Peanut was a true Hog through and Through. He must've told Solo "right you pretend to be eating so the hooman keeps filling the dishes" . We couldn't understand why peanut was putting on weight as we don't feed treats. Lol now we know.
