Pellets = nuggets?

[PiggiePooh]

My piggies seem to be fussy with their dried food and the majority of mixes end up all over the cage rather than being eaten so I changed over to nuggets. The pigs love the nuggets so am sticking with them. I am giving them Burgess Excel Nuggets but is this what you all refer to as pellets on here? I couldnt find anything that was called pellets anywhere ?/

I'm not sure, but they could be the same thing? Nuggets are usually complete food and funny shapes. Pellets are usually extruded and uniform shape. I have seen these making up part of muesli, but maybe some can be bought separately as a complete food, I know they can for rabbits. It is possible though that they really are the same thing, and people just call them different things. xx

Yes, pellets and nuggets are the same thing. They're more usually known as pellets in the US, and nuggets in UK. I prefer calling them pellets, it covers a wider range of pellet/nugget 'types' (the compressed hay cylinder types, and the more 'nuggety' types...lol).
