Is this suitable for all guinea pigs?
Yes, these nuggets with blackcurrant and oregano are suitable for guinea pigs of all ages, including young, adult and senior pets, supporting growth, maintenance and healthy ageing.
What makes these different from regular guinea pig pellets?
They are enriched with blackcurrant and oregano for enhanced taste and health benefits, and are a high fibre food with added vitamin C, supporting digestion, immune health and coat condition, features not always found in standard pellets.
How do I transition my guinea pig to these nuggets?
Transition gradually over 2 to 4 weeks by mixing increasing amounts of Burgess Excel nuggets with their current food. This helps avoid digestive upset and encourages acceptance of the new food.
Do these nuggets provide enough vitamin C?
Yes, this food contains stabilised vitamin C, meeting the daily needs of guinea pigs for immune support and overall health. It's still important to always offer fresh nuggets, as vitamin C can degrade over time.
Can I feed my guinea pig only these nuggets?
No. While these nuggets provide complete nutrition, your guinea pig also needs unlimited high quality hay and some fresh greens daily for optimal health and digestion. Always provide fresh water too.
Vet recommended nutrition with stabilised vitamin C that supports your guinea pig's digestion, immunity and happiness in every single bite.

My guinea pigs - Rose Cotton and Eleanor Gumgee told me in not uncertain terms that they wouldn't eat anything else but the Excel brand. I tried other brands and they either left it all or tipped their feed bowls over.
My piggies absolutely love this flavour - definitely their favourite pellets!
They love them, and I like that it's all the same so they don't get picky. I find the Burgess brand have high quality products overall, their hay is also very nice.
