Has any1 heard of Prestige Premium? I was so desperate I bought that for my pigs...
it's a mixture of pellets, dried vege n herbs.... also contains cape corn (looks like cornflakes)... I usually don't buy pellets mixed with treats but I was desperate! Oxbow was out of stock at the shop and it was like 9pm!

yeah i agree that oxbow is the best. Used to feed Browns cos could'nt get them to like oxbow but this time i a bit heng xin lor...initially they did'nt eat much for a few days...after that..i guess they hungry & start to eat...now they like it I can see a big difference in the poo poo....now it's big & firm..last time a bit soft...so it shows that Oxbow is very good for their digestive system so happy...cos it's timolthy hay based so it's good for them

Used to feed CC, but changed to Burgess. clover, daniel said that he'll pass me burgess pellets this sat so i was wondering whether your pigs like it? is it really oily? from e CG forums it seems that the comments are negative

Your piggies are adult or still young? Cos if they are adults, it best to feed timolthy hay based pellets to avoid getting bladder stones.

My guinea pigs love burgess. But I changed their food gradually so they got used to it slowly. My pigs are adult. But I changed over to Burgess, also cos I had bad experience with Oxbow. So I changed.
