Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets Mint 3kg
Overview
Burgess Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets Mint are a high-fibre guinea pig food designed to support everyday wellbeing with a balanced nugget format that helps keep every mouthful consistent. The mint recipe adds extra appeal, while the nugget shape helps reduce selective feeding so your guinea pig is less likely to pick out favourite bits and leave the rest behind.
This recipe is made to support healthy digestion, skin and coat condition, and immune health. It also includes protected vitamin C, which is especially important in a guinea pig diet, and it is formulated by vets and nutritionists for guinea pigs of all ages.
The 3kg pack is a practical larger-size option for regular feeding and offers the same core recipe as the wider Excel Guinea Pig Nuggets with Mint range.

Feeding Guide
These nuggets are designed to be part of a guinea pig’s wider diet, not the whole menu. Hay and fresh grass should make up the main part of daily feeding, helping support natural grazing behaviour and wearing down continually growing teeth.
| Guinea pigs under 1kg | 45g daily |
| Guinea pigs 1kg and over | 60g daily |
- Aim for 85–90% hay in the daily diet.
- Offer a small amount of these nuggets alongside the main hay ration.
- Include small amounts of suitable fresh greens and herbs.
- Fresh water should always be available.
- Small amounts of suitable snacks can be used as part of a varied routine.
Hay and fresh grass are an important part of the diet and help support tooth wear as guinea pigs’ teeth grow continuously.
