weell , I tried my guineawigs on it yesterday. They're so loving it :) Deffinaitly changing from the edexcell burgess ones :) x
 
My piggies LOVE this food. When I mixed a bit in with their regular nugets to see if they liked it, they where rummaging in the bowl to find all the Selective nuggets!

***** 5 stars
 
My local Jollyes (pet store that does not sell pets) orders in the 10kg bags for me.

All my piggies like to eat it ***** 5 stars
 
Just weaning the girls off Gerty :red and they LOVE these SS pellets! They are picking the pellets out of the mix. Hope it continues! So far a thumbs up from me and the girls ;)
 
i've noticed on the packet of this that it's alfalfa based, is it still okay to feed to adult piggers?

Burgess is basically the opposite...it does not contain hay, has a lot of additives/preservatives and it contains beet pulp - known to pose a health risk to animals.

It shouldn't need to contain hay (I know it's a bonus), but they should be getting that 24/7 anyway, so it isn't drastically needed in the dry food.
Actually, it has no added colour, preservatives, or even dust in it.
Oh, I never knew that. :o What does beet pulp do/anybody?
 
Apart from my current pigs all my other have loved this.
It appears very good ingredient wise and the the nuggets aren't so big or hard that any pig should have problems with it.

I give it 5 stars for the above but it can be difficult to find, I get mine at independant pet stores or from Dobbies garden centre. I'm sure it could be ordered online though. PAH defo dont sell it, like someone said, too busy pushing their own (notsogood) brands in my opinion!
 
I recently contacted Supreme petfoods and asked them to send a small sample for Apricot to try as she's rather fussy. They sent me a whole small bag, so 5* for that. And Apricot loves it, when I first gave her some, she spent the whole afternoon in the bowl!
Off to local shop to buy some more....:))

Thankyou for advice Wiebke, e-mailing now! Don't want to just throw it away (although that is what my girls do - they literally throw it out of the bowl to eat their usual food! Been trying for a while now and they are definitely not taking it!)

No neither will mine - Lord Bernie will eat anything and everything drool but my other 4 girls just won't touch it now and it's left time and time again. I also got a sample (well done Supreme) and also purchased a small pack just in case the sample wasn't fresh and that's why the girls wouldn't eat it.

Actually, just remembered, I mixed a small bit in with the boarding piggies food -the boys ate it the girls refused it rolleyes

This food is excellent full of all the right things and my guinea pigs all love it,i did alot of looking around at foods and we decided to male this the rescues recommended product.We use this for all the rescue piggies.It is more pricey than others,but its well worth it and as i save money on hay and shavings i can spend more on good food.Our local pet shop do us a good discount for the rescue.
 
Thanks for this I'm going to try it for Honey who has an abscess but going down with treatment and hopefully she'll tuck in to this more! rather than the gerty!

Choccy's had Gerty, P@H, Excel (Blackcurrant and Oregano) and Science Selective, and he LOVES the Science Selective (I don't feed him Gerty or P@H anymore, after learning the error of my ways). I mix the Excel and Science Selective but the greedy monkey picks out the latter and ignores the Excel! I think Honey will love it too!
 
this is what I have used ever since I brought Dudley, it looks very boring but seems to go down really well. He has never had any roblems on it as it seems to give him a good balance of everything, I would definately recommend...although its not as easy to get hold of around my area as some of the others are but when I see it I just stock up
 
Just for pets have got this on offer and I got a 350g bag for less than a pound today...can't remember exactly how much sorry
 
just started my new baby boars on this fingers crossed :)
 
I just recently discovered this stuff. It's great, as has been said it's a little more expensive that some of the other foods, but I find there is no waste, the pigs just love it.

If you shop around online, you can get some pretty good deals on the 10KG bags, I got free delivery from VioVet from ordering two 10kg bags and have also found some shoup doing good deals on the 5kg and 10kg bags on eBay.
 
I just googled this and it looks like pet supermarket website have some good discounts on this just now:)
 
4/5 A good food that my piggies enjoy, contains better ingredients than other pellets. Just a little bit pricey!
 
I love that stuff all my pets are on it and none of them have been to the vet other than check ups highly recommend it the vet has said that all my pets have shiny coats i told her about the food and said she loved the idea that none is left behind x

I've found that if ever I have a sick piggy that needs syringe feeding, then this is the one that goes down best.
 
i use science science selective for my 2 i gotit for my rabbits beofre good stuff
 
I can't understand why this product has calcium carbonate added as an ingredient. I spend every day of my life trying to make sure that I don't give too many calcium rich veggies to my piggies. I know that adult guinea pigs need some calcium but I thought the general view was that they got sufficient in their diet without adding calcium carbonate to their feed.

I love this stuff my pigs love it and our vet always comments on there coats x
 
I just bought a small bag of this from P@H to try them on, it was on offer like half-price or some huge saving like that. They were on Harrington's pellets before with their fosterer and they gave us the rest of the bag which they loved, but P@H didn't sell that so tried them on Science Selective - luckily they seem to love this even more! I mixed it in with the Harrington's to begin with but they wouldn't eat the Harringtons then so I had to go back to finish off that bag completely before I could feed them this. It also seems to last longer as they're bigger pellet things so a little goes a longer way as it takes them longer to eat each nugget than the tiny Harrington's pellets.
