Not open for further replies.
I have requested samples from some companies. Have just came back from my holidays and have two cards advising me parcels have been left with neighbours:) excited! I also got a wee booklet and a £5 voucher off from wagg :) will let you know when I have collected parcels x
 
Collected:)
One parcel from a gp charity with stuff I have ordered.

The other from burns. Got guinea pig dandelion leaves x 2, 2 x dried carrots and 2 x rabbit meadow mix, will give that to an animal charity :)

Still have a parcel to collect, I think it will be from Supreme as got a lovely email from them

i have an account on twitter for my dog as well as my own account
both follow wagg foods
a couple of months back they asked what products people used, my pigs and buns are both on wagg and our dog used to be on wagg too, just for helping them with their market research,they sent me out 2 2kg bags of bunny brunch, we've also received treats on a couple of occasions for the dog too :)

most recently they have just released a cat food, i couldn't find any information about it, so enquired through twitter, they said that they'll send me out a free sample so it's very much worth just seeing what companies are on twitter or facebook and keeping an eye on what they say

(also i know it's not guinea pig related, but Purina are sending out 250g samples of Beta chicken & rice dog food at the moment)
 
Have entered the comp :)

Finally collected my parcel. Was a bag of guinea pig selective food and a £1 off voucher :)
 
I have just emailed Burns, Burgess, wagg and Surpreme the following:

Good Afternoon,

We have are two male guinea pigs, called Cashew and Ben. Our owners have gone out for the afternoon and we have taken over the laptop!
They are kind, thoughtful owners, but we are getting a bit bored of what they feed us. Currently we are eating Pets at Home nuggets. Don't get us wrong, they are perfectly fine, but we're getting fed up and wondered if you could point the family in the right direction of your foods. We have heard through the guinea-vine that Burns is the best, so we'd like to try it for ourselves.

Would you be so kind as to send us some surprise samples? We promise we won't let on that you have sent them, as long as you don't let on that we have gained access to the laptop!

We have attached a photo of us both - Surely you can't turn down a request from two such handsome fellows?

The owners are called XX and their address is x

Many Thanks in advance,

Cashew and Ben

Do you think we'll have any luck? :)):))
 
I have just taken a peek at this thread and it sparked an idea{:| Since I live in the US I had to find companies that had food in my country and that was quality enough to feed to my spoiled piggies:p So I have emailed 3 companies about food and filled out an inquiry form about food. I am also thinking of switching from wood shavings to carefresh and I figured I might as well give them a go to:)) I will let you guys know which ones email me back and what they say!
 
Everyone said no:( I didn't even get replies from 2 places but I can take a hint. Obviously the UK is much more generous than the USA. I have decided I will be changing food to oxbow though from the research I did to find good companies in the USA.:)
 
Well so far we have had a reply from all, samples from Supreme and Burgess and vouchers from Wagg :):)
 
I just got an email from Burgess saying they are sending me a free sample of their excel nuggets drool

I only tried Burgess and didnt expect a reply so I'm very excited now. Going to spend tomorrow emailing a load of other companies and will let you know how i get on.

Sorry if it's already on here but Dr Green have a free sample giveaway - you can pick guinea pig or rabbit food.
 
Just got this through the door :)

I went through this thread and sent emails to the suppliers of Burgess
Aubiose
Carefresh
Supreme
Chudleys
Alpha Feeds
Readigrass

I've had replies and am being sent samples of aubiose, readigrass, alpha feeds and one more but I can't remember which it was!

The readigrass sample came in a decent sample size (3 portions easily) and I then ordered a huge bag of it because they loved it. Can't wait to see what they think of the rest of it.

I feel bad about the aubiose sample though because I ended up ordering a huge bag of it before the sample arrived.

Burns refused to send me anything when I tried 3 months ago told me they don't send samples as products are already cheap enough to buy :))

When I recently emailed burns they told me they don't do samples! :( wonder why they've given you some!
 
There was a reason, I think it was because I bought something and it wasn't in stock, so they agreed to send out some free samples. Most of the companies have been lovely. supreme science has been the best, even emailing me some coupons and asking for my opinion on the samples. I just said I had never owned guinea pigs before, that I was seeking to try before buying and I would give a review on the samples. I was polite etc, I am very impressed. The boys seem to love the supreme science the best.
 
Ah right that's probably why :)
So far I'm being sent a sample of FibaFirst off supreme and vouchers and leaflets off wagg. Waiting for readigrass to reply and the others have said no :(
 
I just sent emails to the list that someone put together on the last page, thanks for that it was super helpful.

I used the angle that i just moved away from the uk and i am having trouble finding their brand abroad... I wonder if it will work! :D I love free stuffs!

Anyone know any more i can email?
 
My veterinary gave out free samples of food - cant remember for the life of me what it was but the girlies loved them :)
