Nugget Comparison Chart

Picked up a bag of these today at Pets at Home, they seem quite nice..there was also a grain free version that looked a lot like Rosewoods meadow menu. Id of grabbed a bag of each but the grain free contained alfalfa and my arms were already full, didnt fancy hanging around to deliberate the matter for too long haha I might pop back at a later date though to see what they're like, the bag said they were good for those with digestive problems and thought of Bramble.

Are they new? I've not seen them before but ive not been to pets at home for anything other than cat litter and the cats prescription food for a few months now after my local one stopped stocking Rosewoods meadow menu. But id be interested to see how they stack up against the others nutrition wise!

They are new yes :) They came in just before Christmas I think. I got the packaging photo's as soon as I saw them in PAH. I need to update the chart :P

Ah great! Will keep an eye out for the updated one. They certainly got a huge thumbs up from the pigs anyway, even Leonard got out of bed to come try some :lol!:
 
ive both bags,the nuggets seem to be much prefered to the grainless cold pressed pellets.grainless pah pellets are hugh,so ive had to break them in half.

So after looking at the different foods available and finding that the information is spread all over the place I have started to compile a spreadsheet of the nuggets available here in the UK (and most in other countries). I am still gathering information but I have put the basics into a spreadsheet so that they can all be compared together.

If there is anything else you think I could add to the spread sheet, please let me know, or if you have any info about the blank spaces I'd be grateful too! Here it is so far.

Sorry to bother but could you add the Jolleys pellet?
 
I have the info for the jolleyes pellet too, I will add when I can :)
 
Here is the updated chart with the imformation on the new foods I've been able to gather so far. I'm still waiting for information from some manufacturers. If there is any nugget food on there I have missed that anyone would like adding just let me know!

@sport_billy Could this updated version be added to the beginning please? Thanks muchly!

I've just discovered this for my rabbits, they knock each other out of the way to get to it. It's billed as a complete food, so I've cut their fresh food right down. It's very favourable to their digestive system as its cut their really soft poops right down. They also do a version for guinea pigs. :tu:

It's a good food! It's already on the nugget chart. I did try it with my lot last year but they hated it. Wish it was more palatable :(
 
@Flutterby mine are the same,will not touch any grainfree cold press pellet,only grainless one they will touch is the science selective.ive sat a week of giving just the cold pressed pellets and they point blank will not eat them !

Sometimes they are stubborn little things!
 
Have just had a piggy delivery which included a bag of Verselle Laga Complete from time for paws. Gave the piggys a dozen bits in each bowl. S&P scoffed the lot in seconds. B&R not so sure, ate a couple and walked away! Time for paws do a 500g bag for £1.99, not quite as cheap if you do the sums for the bigger bags but worth it if you want to try before getting left with loads 'cause the fussy fur balls don't like it. This company do free postage on orders over £19 which isn't difficult for piggy stuff! Most of their prices are cheaper or as cheap as other on line firms.

They also do easy fundraising!

Just been trawling through different sites looking for the best low calcium food since Holly has ? Uti?
Feed them Selective ordinary and half grainfree. Know of any better pellets?

Honestly, no. They are one of the lowest on the market and grain free to boot. You are probably best to continue with the grain free selective on it's own.

What about adding on the Vitamin C content? That’s the one thing I always look for when buying nuggets for my boys

Interested in the same thing! Loved what I saw in the chart (related to UK food), I would appreciate if anyone has any info about AU food, or at least the food available in AU, particularly curious about the food rich in Vitamin C. I've been feeding Oxbow Essentials for young pigs and we have both (Corpy and me :) ) been satisfied with it so far. Any experience with that one? If there was already a discussion on the forum about it, just send over the link, appreciate it ! ;)

I personally don't have any experience with it, but the Oxbow brand foods are definitely with the top feeds for pigs. I'll have a look into adding the vitamin C content and perhaps doing a chart with foods available in other countries :)

I've updated the chart and added a few more bits of info I've been able to get plus added another nugget brand.

@sport_billy could I have this pic put at the start of the thread please?

Great chart thanks, but I’m wondering why you’ve removed the Selective grain free brand, I use these are they a good choice? Thanks Maria
