In my opinion this is the best complete pellet food out there. It contains all the pig needs (bar hay/forage and fresh veg) in a single pellet. The guinea pigs cant pick and choose as they wish, meaning that they get all they need. When piggies pick and choose other mix type foods its more likely that they will get dietry in vitamin/mineral imbalances.

Sorry I'm being all scientific here lol.

This is great food ***** (5 Stars)
 
I am feeding this to my new guinea pig. I just have him for 2 weeks and he is 12ish weeks old. I was not giving any food with him so had to put him straight on this and thankfully his body took to it. I would of ratherd introduced it slowly but didnt have a choice but thankfully I had no problems. I find that he loves this. He runs over to the bowel when I fill it in the evening. I also like how it is big so he really has to bite into it. I find this will help his teeth from growing to long. All I can say is my guy loves it, but then again I have him for two weeks nd the only thing he says no to his green peppers and he eats tons of varietys of vegetables. so maybe hes just greedy LOL. But seriously I would give it 5 stars. Also with it having vitamin c thats a bonus and along with the smell when you open the bag. I will definley keep him on thsi type of food. I didnt find it to be that dear either.

Also I am introducing this to my rabbit is the rabbit type of it. My rabbit was selective feeding his food, eating all the treats and leaving the good stuff. I mixed a bit of this in with his normal food and I was expecting him to leave it along with the good stuff and eat the treats but he actually ate this along with the good stuff. Hes a very fussy rabbit, find it hard to get him to eat his vegetables. So I'm guessing it tastes good for theml
 
My boys were on pets at home pellet nuggets for their first month after adopting them but they didnt seem to touch it. So i applied for a free sample of the burgess excel black current and oregano sample pack, when it arrived the boys wolfed it down. So i changed to Burgess Excel and never looked back, ten months on I'm still using Burgess Excel black current and oregano, the boys still wheek loudly for their favourite pellets!

Smells lovely, good quality food and isnt a museli mix - brilliant!

***** 5 star!
 
I was feeding my Guinea pigs on Wagg Guinea Pig Crunch but they were just picking out the bits they wanted and leaving a load of it. Excel means that they can't just pick out different bits and leave loads. So even though it is a lot more costly (we have 15 mouths to feed) it's better in the long run because I know they are getting what they need from it. I would recommend it.

***** 5 Stars from me
 
My pigs went crazy for them but unfortunately, they're not available in larger packs (Which would means cheaper) for me as I have many of them.

Smells superbly herby, and really, even I want to taste it.

Definitely a ***** 5 stars for me :)
 
I feed my piggies this, as a LOT of people have recommended it (and the rabbit version). It is purely nuggets, so no selective feeding. It is great for their teeth, as they need to bite it to be able to eat it. It has no added preservatives, dust or colourings.

The only thing that someone has said to me about it, is it has Beet Pulp in it that can be dangerous to animals? If anyone has any reply to this, please let me know because I have never heard of this before, and/or if it is bad for animals.

****.5 (4.5 stars)
-0.5 Reason being if you're guinea pig finds it hard to bite hard food, they may find this hard to eat. Plus, I have no idea if Beet Pulp is dangerous to animals, so I'm a bit iffy at the moment.
 
i tried this about a year ago and have tried on and off with different piggies and none will eat it. I agree it looks just like PAH nuggetts and none of mine have been keen on that either.

3 ***'s from me only because it appears good for piggies, its in most stores, it's a reasonable price but just out of personal experience its gettiong marked down because mine won't eat it.
 
I've been thinking of switching to Excel for a while and buying online instead. All six of my pigs are currently on the p@h nuggets which they seem to enjoy but to be honest I cringe every time I go in there to buy them their food, it's a case of grabbing the bag, paying and getting the heck out of there! :p

The only thing that puts me off Excel is that i've read the size of the nugget is pretty big. The p@h ones are pretty big anyway, and I do notice the pigs sometimes dropping the nuggets because they just can't keep hold of them. If someone could let me know how they compare in size i'd greatly appreciate it :)
 
I've fed excel here at the rescue for many years. No sugary colourants that are only added to some other foods to make it look attractive to us humans. No selective feeding. I've never had a problem with it, and it's one of the decent feeds that is priced in a way that makes it slightly more affordable for the rescue to use compared to some other good foods that would cost me a fortune to feed. Highly recommend it!
 
My local petshop sells a choice of two guinea pig foods: Burgess Excel or Gerty Guinea Pig. I'm quite impressed by the Burgess range and I don't want to give my piggies loads of artificial colourings, so I bought a bag of Excel a couple of days before I brought my little boys home from the rescue centre. It looked like they were getting Gerty at the rescue, and I was worried they wouldn't take to the boring brown healthy food that I'd bought them. (My previous experience with Excel must have been 6 or 7 years ago, and my piggies back then didn't think much of it. However, I think the recipe may have changed since then, because I remember the pellets being a different shape.)

Anyway, the new piggies gobble up their Excel and don't seem to mind that it looks like big fat piggy poos. They give it 5 stars *****

It is quite expensive, but you can get money off vouchers on the Burgess website. :)
 
Simply the best - 5 out of 5 stars - worth every penny - all my guinea pigs love it and have healthy shiny coats and bright eyes - it is bit more pricey but worth every penny

I adore Burgess products - I buy everything Burgess Excell :))
 
So far so good - thumbs up!

Hi,
I'm new to the world of Guinea Pigs having only recently (2 weeks ago) adopted two 3 year old Boars.
When I got them they were being fed on Tesco guniea pig museli but seemed to always leave certain bits in their bowl, having done some more research I realised that a nugget type food would be better and so have gradually over the last few days been integrating the Burgess Supa Excel nuggets into their diet, mixing it in with what I have left of the museli food, so far they seem to love it and the only thing left in the bowl is the bits of museli they always used to leave anyway!

5 stars and a big thumbs up from me and Patches and Bubbles
 
Yummy Yummy Exel

I Think 5 Huge Shining Stars For Exel
My Piggies Are In Love With The Stuff x)
Its Great How There Is Only One Type Of Nugget In There (My Old Food I Used To Feed My Old Piggies Ruby And Garnet *Sadly Passed Over The Rainbow Bridge :0* Had Many Different Nibbles To Choose From! So They Became Picky Over The Types And Only Ate One)

well said....if I was a piggie I would eat burgess blackcurrant and oregano, has anyone ever tasted it? No I am being serious, I just wondered..inbreeding
 
Our two are OK with the normal Excel, but LOVE the Blackcurrant and Oregano version. A little more expensive, but empty bowls are guaranteed!

4* for normal

5* for Blackcurrant/Oregano!
 
I don't feed Supa guinea pig, but I do feed Excel and mine love it. :D I changed from Gerty Guinea pig, which I did NOT approve of. : angry:
 
My three boys love the Burgess pellets :) They were on the blackcurrant/oregano (as an aside - it increased in price really quickly!) but they stopped selling it in my local pet shop so it's back to the normal pellet now, which they still like.

I even tweeted Burgess to ask them if they were restocking :(

I was in a different pet shop today and noticed they sold Excel Sensitive pellets - I've never seen them before, anyone tried these?
 
mine didn't like excel sensitive, but love the normal one.
the sensitive one is very small pieces, like the blackcurrent one.
 
4 stars - but I mix 5 different pellets (tasty naggets,black current and oregano, wagg optimum,science selective and Sensitive Nuggets together and my sows eats everything)
I'm suggest you buy less packages as possible as vitamins not live more than 3 months after production.

Shame that is mostly 2kg bag on sale.They should sell 1kg bag or even 500gr for people who have not many pigs (I got 4).
 
i have pets at home guinea pig nuggets

i think the nuggets are really and i mean really good !! my guinea pigs have beautiful shiny and clean fur and my guinea pigs are also very healthy!

***** (5 stars )
 
I switched to this brand after having used PAH nuggets. I was trying to get away from using PAH completely in order to do my bit and turns out that my guinea pigs do not like excel!

Normally with PAH the bowl is always empty but with the Excel it's still full. So grudgingly I've switched back. I have tried to explain it's for the good of all guinea-kind but I don't think they really care :(
 
I wont use anything made by burgess anymore however I have used this before. The ingredients arent the best compared to some other pellets but they're better than most mueslis and have no colourings, the pigs did eat them 3/5
