Excel Burgess Guinea Pig Nuggets Blackcurrant and Oregano, 2 kg

Product Information

Although they make up only a small portion of a guinea pig’s feeding needs, high-quality nuggets are really important. The carefully balanced vitamins and minerals they contain support healthy eyes, skin and coat and promote a healthy digestion. According to the PDSA , guinea pig food should never consist of onions, garlic, mushrooms, iceberg lettuce, avocados, nuts, potatoes, seeds, rhubarb, cabbage or tomato leaves . Chinchillas also digest much of their food in the caecum. After food leaves the stomach and small intestine, it goes into the cecum. This houses the bacteria which helps digest food the chinchilla has eaten. Guinea pigs have very delicate digestive systems which need to be treated with care. These small rodents need a really high-fibre diet, so feeding them unlimited high-quality hay or fresh grass is vital. Alongside this, you should provide high-quality guinea pig nuggets and the occasional treat.

To help you learn more about feeding a healthy diet to your gorgeous guineas, we’ve put together some really useful answers from our nutrition team at Burgess, the pet care experts . What should a healthy diet for guinea pigs consist of? The majority of your piggies’ diet – around 85-90% – should be tasty, top-quality feeding hay and grazed grass (never feed grass cuttings as this will make your guinea pigs unwell). As a guide, provide each pet with at least their own body size in fresh guinea pig feeding hay every day.

Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets with Mint: Contains a natural prebiotic to support digestive health, and natural antioxidants to support the immune system. Chinchillas are herbivores and designed to eat a high fibre, low energy diet. The main part of their diet should be made up of good quality, dust extracted, tasty feeding hay which should always be available. Burgess Excel Chinchilla Nuggets is a great complementary feed that can be fed as part of the Burgess Chinchilla Feeding plan alongside our Excel Feeding Hay With Dandelion & Marigold. Our Burgess Excel Mountain Meadow Herbs and Country Garden Herbs can also be sprinkled through feeding hay to add interest and encourage foraging. Each day, slightly reduce their old food and replace it with some of their new food. At the end of the transition period, your guinea pigs should be eating their new nuggets happily with no issues!
