i got that stuff in the orange bag i think its called bagbuss at pets at home its jsut has little brown things inside them - i cant give thme jsut that it i nthere dish it looks so plain and boring so i have put gery and the new stuff in the bowls and mixed them up

did i get the right stuff? do you just give it to them just them brown things in a bowl?
 
I think it is the burgess excel that comes in the orange bags?

You can give it on it's own no problems. Mine have cavy cuisine which is also a pellet feed and they all love it. Each pellet contains all the correct nutrients and because everyone is the same you do not get any selective feeding. It might look boring to us but it is honestly fine for piggys to just have pellet feed. If they were on a mix before though you should change over slowly by mixing the two together and slowly reducing the amount of mix until they are on pellets only.

2 of mine were on Gerty at first (as that was what they were fed before I got them) but I changed it over when I realised they were only eating certain bits and the rest I was throwing away. If they are not eating it all they are not getting balanced nutrition and if I am throwing half a bowl away a day that is effectively money I am throwing away.

Obviously dried feed is only one part of their diet -they need veggies and hay too.
 
I give mine burgess excell too, mine love it and I give veggies twice a day plus unlimited hay. I changed them over to the excell slowly over a month without any problems. I am now changing my new piggie over to excell and he is nearly there still got some muslie type to use up but once thats gone he will just have excell in his dried food bowl. Its fine to feed them pellets yes it looks boring but prevents select feeding which is not good for them.
 
well i have mived it up i put both gery and the new stuff in the bowl well the babies have had eatan half of the bowl but the older ones not ae as much but it takes the mforever to eat it anywheres there only eat when there have eatan all there veg and are stiff hurgay anyways
