Burgess and Excel are hey same company aren't they?
 
:( I didn't get anything from Burgess, they said they had no samples...

Same for Burns, not even a leaflet... Nothing from Wagg either...

Only one I got was Science Selective, who said they'd pop a sample in the post.

I found this link though: http://www.farmandpetplace.co.uk/static/samples.html

Not sure if anyone's tried 'Dr Greens' guinea pig food or sent off for anything but I gave it a go anyway.

runny eyes and nose. Thank you

Hi Stuart, would be interested to know what you said to Burns? When I emailed the other week, I got this response:

"WE do not produce a pelleted food at the moment, we advocate feeding a more natural diet, grass, hay, vegetables etc. We produce two types of hay – Welsh Meadow Hay and Green Oat hay, along with small packets of coltsfoot, dandelion, plantain and a meadow mix, dried carrots and willow sticks. These are all available in small amounts so unfortunately we do not provide samples of these."

Maybe the lady who picked up my email didn't fancy giving any samples :{ lol I even told her that my girls are picky, which they very much are! Sometimes they won't even eat food that they've gone crazy for a coupla days before mallethead

Not sure if there are any budding gardeners out there but given how demanding the piggies can be for fresh fruit and veg, I'm guessing there is!

If you post an article on the link below (approx 200 words, so 1 paragraph or so) about gardening e.g. secret tips or things you've learnt about specific veg, then you get some 5 packets of seeds for veg (for free!)

I received some carrots, herbs, rocket and cucumber (our piggies will have lots of home grown veg in the summer months!)

I have tried the 4 companies mentioned above, all are sending out samples apart from Wagg who sent the following reply:


Thank you for your interest in our products. I’m sorry that we do not send out samples of our food as it comes in handy 2 or 2.5kg bags which are an ideal starter/trial size. We have two different foods for guinea pigs:

Guinea Pig Crunch is a muesli type food and is sold in Asda, Morrisons, Poundstretcher, Jollye’s, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Wilkinsons and good pet shops in 2kg bags

Optimum Guinea Pig is an all in one nugget food and is sold in Asda, Jollye’s and good pet shops in 2.5kg bags. (This is currently being rebranded as Harringtons Optimum Guinea Pig food)



If you let me have your address, I will put one of our leaflets and a voucher for money off your first purchase in the post for you.

I don't really think 2kg is a trial size, thats the size of bag I currently buy!
 
Just to let you know: Optimum Wagg food (or Harringtons since it has been rebranded), is on 'rollback' offer at £2 a bag in Asda, so when your voucher comes through, you get an even bigger discount! :))
 
I had the same from Wagg, equally not convinced 2kg is trial size!
Science select were lovely and sent me a bag, the guineas (who normally have excel nuggets) love the science select stuff, I may alternate the two for them. Beauty of trying before you buy (Wagg willl never know this!)



If you let me have your address, I will put one of our leaflets and a voucher for money off your first purchase in the post for you.

Many thanks to whoever created this, its an amazing idea and a real money saver!

Harold - i've gone mad requesting samples from everyone and anyone from the link you posted! ive even got the girls at work on it! everything from dog food to toothpaste to perfume to teabags, you name it, i've asked for a sample!

Heres some of my replies i got back today from asking for samples:

Burns - Hi Hayley,

Thank you for your recent e-mail enquiry.

We do have two hays and a range of dried herbs which would be suitable for guinea pigs. Unfortunately we do not have samples of these products however small amounts should be available for purchase from your local supplier. The herbs are only available in 100 gram bags and these retail at £2.14.
Kind regards

Better luck next time i suppose with burns.

Readigrass -

Hi Hayley,

I would be delighted to send you a sample of our ReadiGrass for you to try with your guinea pigs.
It is 100% dried British grass so it is different to hay. I will also send you some literature out for you to read about our ReadiGrass.

Can you please send me your address and I will arrange for a sample to sent out to you?

Kind Regards,

Result! nice grass for my piggies :D

Wagg -

Dear Hayley

Thank you for your interest in our products. I’m sorry that we do not send out samples of our food as it comes in handy 2 or 2.5kg bags which are an ideal starter/trial size. We have two different foods for guinea pigs:

Guinea Pig Crunch is a muesli type food and is sold in Asda, Morrisons, Poundstretcher, Jollye’s, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Wilkinsons and good pet shops in 2kg bags

If you let me have your address, I will put one of our leaflets showing the contents and analysis of each food, and a voucher for money off your first purchase in the post for you.

I hope this helps

I wasn't really after food, i was after treats! But Money off still helps as i do purchase wagg mix.

If i have any more luck or find anything else i will let you all know! x
 
Has anyone tried Oxbow?

[email protected]

Sent them an email this morning, they stock everything from hay to pellets to treats, i've asked for whatever they can offer :)

Arn't we cheeky xx
