Pets at Home sell them. They are currently on offer at half price. I bought a bag for mine last week, they are small pellet that look the same as wagg premium.
I gave mine a small handful the other day and they had a nibble on them but prefer their Science Selective. :)
 
Ooh, i was about to post about this!

We bought some as our P@H was out of the usual nuggets we buy. The pellets are very small, and have my doubts that the guineas are eating it. We're using a combo of their normal stuff and new stuff to introduce it at the mo, so its hard to tell how much is going down.

Somehow the size of the chunks make it look a bit less appealing.
 
I don't have the ingredients no Lorna as I didn't get any without knowing anything about it.

Is it timothy based? ?
 
Thanks Alison O0 I know that timothy based pellets are best as Alfala based are high in calcuim O0

Not much in the way of vitamin C... about a quarter of what Excel has and I don't like the idea of it having an added preservative, especially since it doesn't tell you what it is.

Thanks, Alison. :)
