Best Brand Of Pellets

[Gizi]

So I have had trouble finding a good pellet that is healthy and good for my guinea pigs.
I've heard that Burgess excel is a great brand and I really want to get my hands on it but Australia
has really awful small animal (and just any animal) products, they are such bad quality and
I need to find a pellet that is good and where to get it from. Also any online store where I can get it for CHEAP, and I can trust!

What would you recommend?

My piggies are fed Oxbow Cavy Cuisine

Mine are on Bunny Guinea Pig Basic which I buy from Zooplus online but it may not be available in Australia. There are a few Australian members on here though, would tag them but can't remember usernames at the moment.

Helen.... @adelhide , @aussiecavies are two of our Aussie members and @PiggieLove is from Oz and recently commented about pellets I think

 

[Gizi]

Thanks

I feed Excell Burgess and yes it is pricey! But it does seem to be a pretty balance and all round Good Diet! I suppose you could get it from Amazon? I'm not really too sure about Australian distribution but i HIGHLY recommend it. Also heard very good things about Oxbow although never tried myself.

 

[Gizi]

Yes it is VERY pricey... I just checked... the food was 9 dollars itself but they charged 25 dollars for shipping D: ahhhh! wish I lived in the UK

 

[piggyfan]

Did you check if zoo plus deliver?

 

[Gizi]

no I haven't...

 

[Gizi]

It says free delivery at the top.... http://www.zooplus.com/shop/rodents/food

 

[piggyfan]

They may do. They sell the best pellet which is bunny and second best which is vitakraft.

 

[piggyfan]

That is great and they sell bunny too.

[Gizi]

Ok but can I trust that website?

 

[piggyfan]

I order rabbit litter, cabins and food from zooplus.they are great.

 

[Gizi]

Ok so would supreme science slective guinea pig food be good? or what guinea pig food would you recommend off there?http://www.zooplus.com/shop/rodents/food/guinea_pig/gerty_guinea_pig/153248

 

[piggyfan]

The link I posted is great. Bunny is sugar free and grainless.

 

[Gizi]

yes... I was just looking at that it is a bit expensive though and if you double how much it costs that is what it costs for me

 

[Gizi]

but it is 4 kg bag is there one that is maybe 1 or 2 kg?

 

[piggyfan]

No it is only 4kg. Is vitakraft more affordable? With pellets you get what you pay for and you dont need to feed many as they are huge.

 

[Gizi]

It says it includes Seeds! Anyway I might just go with bunny Better Safe Than Sorry

• A tasty mix of selected seeds, pellets and extrudates

Ifeed it. It is pellets not seeds.

 

[Gizi]

Ok oh I was looking at another one... http://www.zooplus.com/shop/rodents/food/guinea_pig/vitakraft_guinea_pig/306997

 

[piggyfan]

No that is not the one I meant.

 

[Gizi]

yes I know now

 

[piggyfan]

If you get it then break them in half as they are big.

 

[Gizi]

ok thanks but.... I just realized they do not ship to Australia

 

[piggyfan]

Oh no! That is such a shame. Maybe other Australian members can advise you then.

 

[Gizi]

I know right! It seems to me the UK has the best small animal products and brands Anyway I'm almost certain I can get oxbow here

 

[piggyfan]

I find Germany has the best pellets though. There are no good English pellets. America seem to have the best furniture. They do lovely piggy sofas and beds.
