I was really cheeky and emailed the company asking for a free sample - they sent me 5 x 350g packs! However the little piggy nose has just kept turning up at the food dish so far! I really wanted to change over to this as the reviews here have all been excellent and the pellets seem to be really healthy and well balanced. I'll keep trying but the local rescue may be getting the free samples soon!
 
I got given a sample of science selective with Woodstock, and he and Iris love it ;D The problem is now I feel they should have it all the time...it's expensive though :-\ the largest pack is 10kg, right?
 
i got mine some today i have just gave them it so lets see how well they have done with it in my moring

i have to say tho it dose look more apling then the other pallet foods

Yay! he's eating it now and seems to be loving it. I still give him Supa Excel nuggets so he gets variety but no more Wagg Crunch at the moment - although will probably go back to that later on!
 
My three loved it :) I can only find it in the very small bags though so only lasts me a few days.

Pampered Piggies sell it in the larger bags - I know you have to pay delivery but if you order a few bags at a time and other stuff (hay maybe?) then it wont seem quite so bad.

Haha! Must admit I've just emailed the company for some free samples after reading your post- see how we get on! ;D ;D
 
got my pack of this- blooming fussy piggies wont touch it ;D I'm forcing it into their bowl everyday though, the mean piggy mum i am! So ** 2 stars from me, looks really healthy but the piggies wont touch it and its very expensive
 
the girls wouldn't touch it while i was mixing it with the food the rescue place gave me they were used to but love it now & the new boy addition went straight in there. Only down side is if they poo in it it looks a bit the same.lol
5 stars
 
My two pigs love this but has anyone had an issue of pigs getting the nugget stuck on a tooth and there not able to remove by themselves.As one of my girls is having this problem :-\
 
I received free samples of this today and when reading the ingredients noticed it is Alfalfa based, so is this actually OK for all ages and sexes of pigs?
 
i got a free sample pack from Supreme on Monday and i put some in Cookie's bowl and she seems to be eating it and enjoying it. But then she does love dandelions. lol
 
Mine are eating this more and more now, leaving most of the Wagg.
I have it in separate bowls so that I can see exactly what is being eaten.

It is great to have an empty bowl of this :) .... then I look across and see the Wagg selectively eaten and chucked out of the bowls. rolleyes

It is expensive to buy, but you don't get any waste.
 
If you have The range near you they stock it in 350gm bags so good for a trial I got some free from the makers & am going to give it a try, I'll let you know how it goes.....

Mine love it! Nothing is left in the bowls ... no selective feeding or anything tossed out.

It is expensive though, if you have more than a few piggies. I have just ordered 10kg via internet.
 
I received samples of this today 3x 350g bags!
I was so chuffed as I only expected a small sample bag.
Fed it to my piggies today, so will see how much is left in their bowls tomorrow.

Yippeee :))
 
I love this product! My new guinea tiger has refused to eat p@h nuggets & the burgess complete food but last night / this morning he wolfed down a whole 25gms (he is only little & normally doesn't lije piggie food) I'm so impressed as it is the only one he has eaten & gobbled the lot up too.

Not tried on george my other piggie yet as he has a lot of P@h nuggets to get through first he has two big bags (don't want him to go off it first). :))
 
as an addition to my last post must say it is the most loved food of my piggies! I now have george and tiger living together and a lot of P@H nuggets to get through so everyday I do them a bowl each with about 15 gms of science selctive at the bottom and them about 15 gms of p@h on top and guess which goes first! this is why I put it on the bottom otherwise they would probably ignore the p@h stuff! once I have run out of p@h they will probably get science selective as they find it so yummy!
 
I am still a great fan of this! No waste ... all is eaten and very quickly.

However, I think my piggies do drink more now ... mind you, looking at the nuggets, I can understand why.

Still the thumbs up from here though!
 
sounds like a good food, will try my two on this, my rats like the science selective rat food..:)
 
how do 'I' try a new food for my piggies?

my rescue piggies, have only ever been fed pets@home muesli which they seem to pick out bits and leave the rest.

When I offer a new food, should I always mix it with the new, so not to upset their tummies, or can I just change?..they are 9 months old

Hi Bren, I would mix in any new food you purchase into Twiglet and Marmites muesli, gradually increasing the pellet food and decreasing the mix until you wean them off it entirely. When I originally changed my gang over to pellet from mix they weren't very keen and it took a while for them to accept the change, but stick with it, it is worth it in the long run.:)
 
I got a small bag of this from my vets and my piggies love it.
I wont be using MR Johnson's Supreme food any more.
5***** from me and Angel, Chestnut & Eli.

Bought some of this as looked at the reviews but none of my 3 will touch it! Anyone in the North Norfolk area want to take it off my hands - seems a shame to go to waste if I can give it away?

I am sorry - switching over is sometimes not easy!
Can you contact a rescue in your area? any gifts are always very welcome!

The last rescue is a member of this forum and she a lovely, very supportive lady: (email) [email protected]
 
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!)
