Product FAQs

What are Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets with Mint?

They are high-fibre guinea pig nuggets designed for everyday feeding as part of a balanced diet containing plenty of hay, fresh greens and clean drinking water.

How much should I feed my guinea pig?

The feeding guide on the pack recommends around 45g per day. This is a guide and individual requirements can vary.

Do Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets contain vitamin C?

Yes. The recipe contains protected vitamin C. Guinea pigs need a dietary source of vitamin C because they cannot make or store sufficient vitamin C themselves.

Why are nuggets useful compared with muesli-style guinea pig food?

A uniform nugget helps prevent selective feeding, where a guinea pig chooses its favourite ingredients and leaves others behind. This helps provide more consistent nutrition.

Do guinea pigs still need hay when eating Burgess Excel Nuggets?

Yes. Burgess recommends that hay and fresh grass make up approximately 85–90% of a guinea pig’s daily food intake. Unlimited good-quality feeding hay should always be available.

Does this food contain prebiotics?

Yes. The recipe contains prebiotics to help support healthy digestion.

Why is mint included?

Mint is included to add flavour and make the nuggets appealing to guinea pigs.
