Burgess Excel Indoor Adult Guinea Pig Nuggets 1.5kg
Overview
Burgess Excel Indoor Adult Guinea Pig Nuggets are a complementary nugget feed designed for indoor adult guinea pigs. The recipe is built around high beneficial fibre, with a focused blend of prebiotics, vitamin C support and a calm formula with added L-tryptophan. It is made to fit into a forage-led feeding routine, with hay and fresh grass forming the main part of the diet and nuggets used as a measured supplement.
The nugget format helps reduce selective feeding, so every mouthful delivers the intended mix of ingredients. The recipe also includes dried dandelion root, dried passion flower and camomile powder, alongside a full vitamin and mineral profile for everyday feeding.
This is a complementary food and should be offered alongside plenty of hay or fresh grass, with fresh water available at all times.
