What are the best foods

[Remax]

Hi all ! what are the best pellets to feed my girl all the pet stores and on line give a massive selection of the best !
Also is 2nd cut Timothy hay better than first cut ?

This is is our comparison chart. You are looking for a hay/grass based pellet, ideally grain free and low calcium and without alfalfa/lucerne (which is high calcium) in the ingredients

Second cut timothy is softer and less stalky than first cut. It’s not necessarily better, it’s just about preference. Any grass hay is absolutely fine to feed

I feed my guinea pigs Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Pellets because I think it is the best and it just happens to be what my boys were eating at the rescue until they came into my life I also change between the mint flavour ones and the oregano-blackcurrant flavour ones to give my piggies variety, which they love.
When I am low on pellets and can't go to the nearest outdoor shop (Mole Avon, in case you know it) I get something else temporarily, like Tesco's own-brand guinea pig pellets, but then alternate between that and Burgess Excel when I can get more because I don't know how good the Tesco brand is, but I am guessing not that good, and I want my guinea pigs to have the right nutrition. Sometimes I give them some Gertie Guinea Pig food in a bowl alongside their pellets as a treat, but that should not be their main food because the guinea pigs do not eat all of it (mine often leave the wheat flakes, I think) and might struggle to get all of the nutrients they need. There are other brands like Science Selective and Marriage's, but I have not bought them so I do not know what they are like. Other brands do treats. Some of these brands are Rosewood, HayPigs, Piggie Parcels, Little One and Burgess Excel (again). Out of these brands, I have only tried Rosewood Naturals, and my piggies loved it.
Anyway, sorry for that monologue, but I hope some of it at least was useful

I give mine Science Selective grain free nuggets which they love.
They get meadow hay primarily as they don’t seem to like Timothy hay much.
They have just discovered that they love first cut Timothy hay though.
I also give then green oat hay as a treat as well as Readigrass

thanks very helpful chart . They seem to like the second cut but won’t touch meadow hey xx

 

[Remax]

They are so odd aren’t they will there hey they won’t eat meadow or readgrass but love Timothy
They have been eating the mint burgess excel as that is what they were given from birth at the breeders which they seem happy with but a guy in the pet shop the other day said oh it the worst food to give them so left me worried xx

 

[Remax]

That’s the same pellets mine have and we’re given when born at the breeders so I’ve stuck with it and decided to stick with the Timothy 2nd cut as that seems to be what they love thanks so much
