Hi everyone, I went into my local pet shop the other day and saw a food called Excel For Guinea Pigs. It looked quite good, but I wanted some other opinions on it! I have until Christmas to decide on the best food, so if anyone can convince me with a couple of reasons that Excel is the best,please share! I am also open to hearing about other foods as well!

Thanks!

Yes I Ditto Piggyfan, what country are you in? There is burgess excel over here in the UK which is a good food and quite a few of us on here feed it, including me :)

Thank you! I am in the UK and I think the one you are talking about is the one I mean. It's in an orange packet, right?
 
Yes it's the orange packet. My pigs love it and it's usually on a good offer in pets at home :)
 
I find some pigs like it some don't! Like humans with marmite, depends on taste
 
Most pellets in the UK contain grains, and Vitakraft is hard to find in store :( I am looking into the different pellets at the moment to see which I feel is best, there is so much conflicting information around.

There are two good pellets, bunny and vitakraft. Mine did not like bunny. We are lucky as we are in the uk so can order them from zoo plus. Do not worry about conflicting information. @helen105281 is very knowledgeable in it and recommends those two.
 
It does look good, expensive too. Not that the cost matters. I used to feed harringtons, but I fell out with them and changed to the burgess excel. I'm going to have a look at the Bunny feed Piggyfan mentions above too. Thank's for the link Helen :)
 
Yes definitely. It took a lot of research to find the right food for my dogs so I have no problem paying out and getting the right food for the pigs either. Do you have any links to the Bunny? :)
 
My local pet shop usually can get hold of most things, I am going to ask them to see if if they can get the grain free ones. I have fed excel for years, now mix with science selective, piggies like it, local rescue (not the one I got the piggies from)recommend harringtons. (I am not sure I can get my head around a Guinea pig food called Bunny - although I am sure it is good)
