Nugget Comparison Chart

I use the Burgess mint. Would it be beneficial if I mix in some grainless nuggets with it? I'm just a little bit alarmed that the calcium is higher than other brands
 
I wouldn't worry too much as long as you aren't feeding too much of others things high in calcium.
 
Cucumber, various peppers, some parsnip and swede, coriander, occasionally parsley and carrots. Now and again they get some fruit.

Has anyone tried Beaphar care plus?

Beaphar nature seems to be much better quality ingredient wise. You would think "care plus" would be a better variation but seems to have not great ingredients x

It depends on your budget to be honest. If it's high then you are looking at the versele laga, JR farm grainless or the Bunny GuineaPig basic. If not, then my best advise it to just steer clear of the supermarket and own brand foods.

I am not using a budget to be honest as I would rather my pigs got the best so anything under £15 a month
 
My piggies are on muesli where they are right now but once with me I will slowly be switching them over to nuggets. My bunny was always on Burgess Excel and did well on it so I think I'll give my piggies the guinea pig version.

Have u got a link for this ?
 
You can get it from most major retailers like pets at home, Jolleys, pets corner etc. Some small shops may stock it too. Also on amazon, ebay and various different online stores. I get mine from Amazon.
 
There aren't many Junior foods for guinea pigs unfortunately, most just use normal nuggets throughout their lives.

Any particular ones that are better ? I don't mind paying more if I need to

Here's what I have added, only managed to find the phosphorus levels for a few of them so far. Had a go at doing the ratio but don't know if I've done it right. I've changed the price to Price per KG.

Thank you for doing it! I bet it was mega time consuming :)
I'm spending ages trying to compare these pellets and it's insane how long time it takes ...
I was looking at JR farm grainless and then checked calcium levels which shows as 0.79... mg/kg... can I ask how did you convert it into % as that's where my maths failed me!

It states on the back of the packages the percentage of calcium per portion.

Oh I see. I only looked st the zooplus page which says this:IMG_4882.webpand I just kept thinking how on earth do I convert it to % per 100gramms! Hahahahaha

Didn't realise it was on the packaging already.

They seem like really good pellets then, and really good value. Guess what I'll be ordering in a minute :yahoo:
 
They are a good pellet, just be prewarned though that some pigs can take a bit of getting used to those pellets, they are an acquired taste.
