Tesco Guinea Food - Review

It looks like I'm going to have to go back to P@H nuggets - they're just throwing the Tesco food all about the cage and not eatting it! Cheeky wee monkeys! :-\
 
Burgess super guinea seems to be really good. I thought I would give it a go and see how my 2 Guineas got on. They love it and I have found that they now love a drop of water too! Must admit though, it doesn't have any pretty colours in but seems to be very good stuff! It lasts a long while as the bag is quite big and it is what the vet recommends! I am certainly not loaded but it seems to be worth every penny and they seem happy and squeaky too ^-^
 
Mine have wagg guinea pig crunch and really enjoy it. When we first adopted Connie, she came with a bag of tesco food. She enjoyed it but left more of that then she does the wagg. Before this we tried them both with pets at home guinea pig musli but this was their least fav out of the three
 
I'm currently caring for 3 rescue piggys that have been brought up on Tesco Value guinea pig food. These poor little girls are in a bad way, with horrid skin condition due to lack of vitamin C etc.

The vets bills are increasing and now one has diarrhoea because I have changed her food to a good balanced brand and her body simply can't cope.

Please be careful when buying supermarkets own brands - Through experience I would strongly advise you avoid Tesco!

The Tesco value guinea food is the cheaper food they do for piggies :) They also do a better one in a purple bag which is a good food to feed piggies which is the one people on this thread are commenting on ;)
I have used the purple bag and its good stuff for rescues when they arrive then slowly change them onto pellets to avoid select feeding.
 
Poor little things. I started on the Value (didn't know any better) and as soon as I opened it realised it wasn't right. The purple bag is great if you don't have selective feeders but I do so it's pellets all the way in my barn!
:)
 
I use Tesco's purple bag mixed with Chudleys Rabbit Royale always have and I have one piggy who's 6 and half!
 
I have 2 piggies Coco & smudge & they are on a mixture of p@h, Tesco & Gerty. There are some long greeny brown stick like things in all 3 packs which they both hate they always leave them in the bottom of the bowl then poo on them to show their disgust ! I have started picking them out before putting the bowls in the hutch & passing them on 2 a friend who's piggy isn't quite as fussy as mine,!
 
i usuly buy pets at home premium museli which mine love but bought tesco purple one today havent gave them any yet tho as they still have some in the other bag.
 
Back on the Tesco's in the barn as they all went off the pellets! Girls are now refusing all dried! Twinkle eats it all boys are select feeding! Hmmm will use the bag up and if they don't eat it all I'll have to rethink. But I do like this brand although not keen on the sunflower seeds in it, they arn't birds! 98)
 
My local tescos is charging £3.49 for the Purple bag not fair that others are only charging £2.99
My piggies are being very fussy at the moment they've stopped eating carrots, Grapes & banana. Will have to see whats in tescos tomorrow. They've had strawberry's, raspberry's, blueberry's, peppers, cucumber, mustard, cress, spring cabbage, apple & pear & they've refused them all. slowly but surely working my way through the fruit & veg section trying to find things they'll enjoy.
 
Mine are going to be trying Tesco purple bag museli tomorrow, alongside their normal food, so I will see how they get on!
 
Got my purple bag today as I will see how we get on with it and report back! :)
 
My four boars love it, they leave very little (purple bag). They didn't seem that fussed on Tescos very cheap G pig food. Haven't really tried them on other mixs as when i got them this is what the lady who had them used to feed them on so just carried on with the same stuff. :)
 
ours eat very little commercial food, mainly fruit and veg and hay, also on the grass as much as possible.

the commercial food we used is exclusive to a local mill, gold guinea, 20kgs is about a £10 www.gablestock.co.uk for anyone local

mine dont like the tesco purple pag stuff but love the value, mine are just plain fussy with what they eat anyway
 
My boys used to be on supa guinea pig due to a calcium deficency,(recommended by the vets) but they hated it! The point blank refused to eat the pellets until I mixed it with the first mix I could find - purple tesco food. Now I swear by it! They rarely leave any of it and are so crazy for it they sometimes eat it before they eat thier fresh veg!

(But my piglets are a little crazy.)
 
Mine have Gerty and aren't too bothered about it, ive bought some that was already weighed out but no idea what brand from the pet shop and they arent keen on that either, will try the tesco one next. women at pet shop said they like them all and they get what ever is left over from weighing their bags out but get them home and they dont want to know
 
After reading this thread i went out the following day and bought some tesco purple bag food too, the first couple of days they didnt seem that fussed now they wolf the lot of it down

I'm a much happier piggy mummy now :))
 
My girls love Tesco purple bag. Out of all the meusli types this one was best. The boys have been brought up on pellets so I have kept them on that and they're not that interested in meusli. Funny lot!
 
mine love the purple bag of tescos food but also like the cheaper tescos own value one
 
I've tried..

I've tried Wagg, Tesco (purple) and tesco value and i think tesco value is the best, as they leave their plate empty after ;)
 
Going to have to try that I think. They are on Gerty at the moment but it's nearly £27 a bag now:o
 
Mine still absolutly love it! i have quite a bit of gerty left which they have about 1-2 bowls a week and there bowl is always half full when i go in where as the tesco they still polish the lot off. think when the gerty is gone ill try the tesco value and see how they go with that. If they like that then even better because its cheaper so can spend more on veg :))
 
What colour bag is the tesco value in because my o.h usually goes to tesco and if I don't tell him the colour of the bag he's bound to get the wrong one.:))
 
Tesco Value is in a whitish paper bag to be honest its awful stuff! The purple is far better. I started on the value as it was so cheap but once I came here and read the bad reviews I quickly changed!
