Each nugget is nutritionally uniform, so your cavies can't pick out favourite bits and leave the rest. This 1.5 kg pack is for South African guinea pig owners who want a fibre-rich daily nugget that supports digestive health within a hay-first diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBurgess Excel builds this food around one idea: a guinea pig's digestion runs best on plenty of fibre. These mint nuggets deliver naturally high levels of Beneficial Fibre alongside protected Vitamin C, a natural prebiotic, natural antioxidants and a full complement of vitamins and minerals. Because they come in nugget form rather than a loose muesli-style mix, they are designed to prevent selective feeding. Every mouthful gives your pet the same balanced nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally high in Beneficial Fibre (36%):\u003c\/strong\u003e fibre is central to keeping a guinea pig's digestive system working well, and this nugget is built around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrevents selective feeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e the uniform nugget format stops guinea pigs from picking out tasty pieces and leaving the healthier ones behind, a common problem with mixed muesli-style foods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh levels of protected Vitamin C:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Vitamin C is included in a protected form at high levels to support your guinea pig's daily nutritional needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural prebiotic:\u003c\/strong\u003e contains a natural prebiotic to support digestive health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFortified with vitamins and minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e added nutrients help support healthy eyes, skin and coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural antioxidants:\u003c\/strong\u003e included to support the immune system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasty mint flavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e a delicious nugget that encourages guinea pigs to eat their daily portion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed these nuggets as part of The Excel Feeding Plan, which treats them as one component of a balanced diet rather than the main meal:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHay and\/or grass first:\u003c\/strong\u003e good-quality hay and\/or grass should make up most of your guinea pigs' diet and should be available at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily leafy greens:\u003c\/strong\u003e offer a small amount of leafy greens each day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily nuggets:\u003c\/strong\u003e give the measured portion of Excel nuggets every day (see Dosage below).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh water:\u003c\/strong\u003e always make sure fresh, clean water is available.
