I am currently using Burgess Excel nuggets & was wondering if I can give the boys the blackcurrant and oregano without having to phase out the old ones? I am a bit unsure as I know you have to introduce new food gradually but don't know if this applies to new flavours of the same nugget?
Nugget flavour swapping?

It applies with all changes between flavour and brand, you may find your piggies don't like them too so by putting a small amount in you can see whether they leave them or not. (:

Pop a dish of each in - my lot raved for the Blackcurrant & Oregano at one time so had a dish of those and their regular Wagg (now Harrington's) Optimum.
They suddenly decided they didn't 'like' the Oregano anymore ?/ so I stopped buying them, occasionally, they like a few Burgess Excel or Science Supreme but always have the Optimum twice daily.
I tend to buy a small bag of good branded nuggets/pellets if I see them on offer just as a change but get through 20k of Wagg per month

Forgot to add that the muesli type are not the best dry foods so avoid - I always keep a small bag in though as I find if I have a pigy who is a bit off their food, they will pick at the Wagg muesli...wouldn't give them muesli as a main diet though
You'll discover what they like and dislike and as long as the piggies are a good weight etc. give them what they choose.

I don't tbh as very little of the ingredients change (generally) when i first introduce a flavour i do it slowly but after that i get which ever i can and they've never had tummy troubles or anything
