Best Pellet Food?

[tabithakat64]

Wood Green recommended the Burgess tasty pellets as that's what they are currently on but is there a better food out there for my Guinea pigs?

I believe many members recommend Burgess pellets in the UK.

Burgess pellets are good. My piggies love them and they are very good quality Usually on offer in Pets at home too

A lot of forum members use and recommend Burgess Excel - but it is one of the brands that is quite high in calcium.
Here is a thread that is worth a look at as it lists some of the other brands used by forum members.

I will tag @helen105281 - who I know has done a lot of hard work looking into the different brands of pellet food.

I'm currently using a mix of Oxbow Cavy Cuisine and Science Selective. However, I really could do with a low calcium pellet as I am sure they get plenty of calcium from their veggies. Their wee is cloudy .

If asked I will always recommend the Bunny or Vitakraft (links are in the above thread) as I have seen real changes in my own and other pigs when fed this. However, I know everyone has their own opinion and so am putting together a list of all available pellets and will give calcium, phosphorous and protein ratios.

The best pellet is no pellet in my opinion but I agree that Bunny is amazing. My piggie who suffers with a low level cysistis can eat these and not suffer.

I don't give him them though because they were too expencive for me so they just get no pellets.

I give burgess black current and oregano to my younger two guinea pigs, one handful a day only.
