Burgess Guinea Pig census

Including the hutch and covers at £300 last year I have spent alot so I put £500-£1000 as it was obvously going to be over the £500 mark.

Just out of interest, what are you alkergic reactions to it. My wife is allergic to something in the house, but its not the pigs because she rubbed her face on them lol, and didnt get a reaction. We are thinking hay but not all

Without touching it, I get a tight throat and chest, breathing feels difficult, the usual sneezing, runny nose and eyes that all hay gives me and if I touch It, I come out in weird swellings/welts, itchy skin and red patches. Hay other than Timothy only makes me sneeze luckily, I seem to be powering through it and becoming more immune over the years XD

I hope your wife can pinpoint what it is, bless her, allergies are no fun.

I also answered that the most common health issue is bladder stones. Probably not true, but its a serious one that i wanted to back up my answer with when i said please make a grain free nugget.Because ss selective isnt found as much as burgess

I put URI and cystitis/bladder stones, then added "and mites, and ringworm in pigs recently bought from shops" - because we seem to see an awful lot of that on here.
You're right though it would be nice to have a choice of grain free nuggets; my local pet shop stocks both Burgess and SS nuggets, but I have to ask them to order a bag for me when I want the SS grain free.
 
I put teeth for health problems, initially I thought haypoke because although we havent had one yet they seem very common on the forum! Then I thought that might not be the best thing to say to a luxury hay supplier survey...
And I said my piggies would like to see more stuff like big Rosewood carrot cottages and haycubes on the market because Rosewood have a monopoly there and they cost a fortune, far more than they cost to make, but they are the only "toys" or "treats" my piggies get regularly except hay and veggies and cardboard boxes :)

Shes getting the whole stuffy nose, tight chest and all that. And wheezing. I might just get her to sniff everybag of hay. I have a feeling its the wild mountain hay thats doing it
 
I don't mean to go off topic. But has anyone noticed the the big chains hardly this brand no more?

There gerbil food was good and drawf hamster food was good as well.

Sorry for going off topic

Burgess gerbil food was the best mix i could find, my local kennelgate, one of the biggest chain stores, stopped doing it, because burgess kept sending them short dated bags of it.
