As there's no thread for the nuggets, I shall post here!

I have had Tigger and Munchie for a year now, and they've always eaten the Burgess Nuggets. Now, with the addition of Teaser (who I got from P@H adoptions center), I had to mix the P@H nuggets in when she moved in with T@M...

I haven't had to fill the Burgess Nuggets bowl up in a week now. They're eating bits of it, but I'm finding that they're absolutly wolfing down the Pets at Home Nuggets. I think we've sorted which food they're going to be on.

I think the size of the nuggets might have something to do with it. The Burgess ones are pretty big compared to the P@H ones, so maybe they fancy being able to shove an entire nugget in their mouths rather than have to put in all that effort breaking the Burgess ones up!

I can second this. My piggies used to have the P@H museli and they were OK on it, they ate the nuggets and the odd bit of the museli. I decided to wean them on the nuggets and they absolutely love them! They munch them down like crazy and i certainly won't be changing thier food any time soon! :)

Mine were on it for awhile but the vet recommended switching to nugget's which they prefer and don't leave all the bits they don't like. They won't eat any other museli or nuggets but the P@H ones. (Expensive taste I think!) They do like the split peas and things like that from the museli as little treats but not as their main food.

P@H have now started making a premium version of their muesli. My piggies didn't like the original version at all but they all love the new premium variety. All the pieces in it appear to be smaller and there aren't as many chunky brightly coloured pieces, which is a good thing!
 
Tried on my things everyone gone wasted, think they don't like it at any cost @)
 
Personally, I have never tried it, but I don't want to. It is supposed to be filled with artificial colours and flavorings, what appeal to us and not so much to the pigs.
Plus, I don't like muesli - selective feeding just worries me! The food I had to ween my piggies off was muesli, and they always left the little seeds and brown stick thingys. They could have been missing out on a lot of nutrition!
I don't fancy wasting £5.00 of my money on unhealthy food. :(

I agree with Joeychan my boys refused to eat it so no stars, but they cann't get enough of the pets at home nuggets tried different brands of nuggets but the Pets at home one is the one they like!
 
My girls really love it far more then Gertys. They do not eat the nuggets or little seeds. I have tried so hard to get them to eat nuggets and they refuse.

I'm gonna have to disagree! My picky piggie doesn't like it for the lack of variety!

Rodders never liked that, so I went back to his Wagg which he loved.
 
Mine adore the nuggets i have to say! never tried the muesli as was advised not too but they go through nuggets liek there's no tomorrow :)
 
I think that Pets at Home muesli encourages really selective behaviour. My boars just picked out the bits they liked and left the rest. I was wasting a lot of the food because they were selectively feeding. Therefore not getting all the nutrients.

It has quite a lot of nuggets in it which I think are good for their teeth. It also has lots of nice seeds and stuff too. My pigs like it and don't selective feed because I only put new food in when there are only a few bits left in the bowl.

Only £14.99 for 15kg which is affordable for me on paper round money!
 
Plus it is more natural and it must be nicer for them to eat.
 
My girls LOVED THIS ... A tad too much... they were emptying their bowl morning and evening and their little bellys were growing a tad too much ... so after a chat with my vet I went back to my old brand which they like, but they aren't eating so much that I'm scared they will be over weight lol!
 
I feel the best food for guinea pigs are the nuggests from pets at home. They have all the nutirients combined as we all know guineas are very fussy animals. Therefore they're not leaving the nutrients they need and not wasting your money as they're eating it all.
 
I offer the meusli as a treat with the nuggets, so my girls can forage through the nuggets at dinner time. Both nuggets and meusli are pets at home brand. No garish coloured shapes, quite natural looking, although I suspect the peas may be treated with extra green to look fresher maybe? speculation.

Both girls absolutely love it, and will abandon their veggies immediately when they hear the meusli bag rustle. They will select the meusli, and through the rest of the night make short work of the nuggets.

*****five stars.
 
I used to feed my Piggles the "Posher" guinea pig food. They liked it but love the stuff I get from the local pet shop :)

At first we bought pets at home museli but we soon realised they weren't eating it we look it up on the Internet and one website said they don't need museli only the pellets as they are the only things with vitamins in. From then on we only bought pellets and it saves money and they eat it all. Hope this helped:)
