NEW!!! SUPREME SCIENCE SELECTIVE GRAIN FREE GUINEA PIG AND RABBIT NUGGETS

The guinea pig nuggets

HI! The lovely people at Supreme pets kindly sent me some samples of their new guinea pig and rabbit nuggets AND they are grain free! They also kindly sent me a sample pack for each of my pets.

The PRODUCTS
The products are....DRUMROLL....Grain free guinea pig nuggets and Grain free rabbit nuggets.
They are what it says on the label grain free (No wheat or any grains) and are also made from timothy hay, whereas the normal nuggets are made with lucerne (or alfalfa). Timothy hay is great for older guinea pigs and rabbits (generally over 1 year) as too much calcium in alfalfa hay can cause bladder stones which can be fatal.

My personal opinion of the nuggets

The rabbit nuggets

Bramble just wanted to try them!

Overall these nuggets are excellent. Although they are slightly more expensive than Burgess Excel (Burgess Excel guinea pig nuggets are £6.50 for 2 kg and Burgess Excel rabbit nuggets are £6 for 2 kg in Pets At Home) or the normal Supreme nuggets (Supreme guinea pig nuggets are £6 for 2 kg and Supreme rabbit nuggets are £7 for 3 kg). The new food is £7 for the guinea pig nuggets for 1.5 kg and the rabbit nuggets are £6 for 1.5 kg. I have decided to change Bramble onto these nuggets due to health problems (post on my main blog for more info) due to the fact they don't have alfalfa in them so the calcium content is reduced. I have loved supreme's products since I got Bramble (is it really 2 and a half years ago?!) due to the fact whatever product it is, my girls will eat it and as my girls are generally extremely fussy it is nice for them all to like it.
Another thing is, unlike the normal supreme nuggets for guinea pigs, they are much smaller and don't get stuck on their teeth (Maisie has done this! It is really hard to get it off. She has also done it with an acorn but that is another story!).
The rabbit nuggets are around the normal size and shape.

The piggies opinion

The guinea pig nuggets

Maisie and Patches: "Whee think they are squeakily tasty and love it as a treat". Bramble: "I love these nuggets and am very happy my hooman decided to change me onto them"

The rabbits opinion
Rocky: "I would hoppily eat these all day" Flopsy: "These are not my normal nuggets"
And the guinea pigs cheekily tried the rabbit nuggets, being the little monkeys they are! "Whee all enjoyed the rabbit nuggets!".

WOULD I RECOMMEND THESE NUGGETS?
I would recommend these nuggets to anyone with a small number of guinea pigs/rabbits or people who would like their guinea pigs/rabbits on a more natural diet but who don't have time to forage (or live in a big city)

Thank you again to the lovely people at Supreme pet foods for sending me the free samples to review.

Ferplast 100 guinea pig and rabbit cage review

Maisie enjoying her new cage

Hi readers! So yesterday I bought Maisie a new cage and thought I would review it.
Here is the video review

This cage is much bigger than Maisie's old cage (the old cage is from 2009 and was a Ferplast rodents cage!) and now I have the newer version I can't believe that people used to think that it was fine for a rabbit, let alone a pair of guinea pigs.

The old cage on top of the new cage

The dimensions of the new cage are approximately: 95cm(L) by 57cm(W) by 46cm(H) which is perfect for a single or pair of guinea pigs or a small rabbit.

It comes in 4 colours: Pink, Blue, Burgundy and Grey. I have the blue one for Maisie.

It comes with: 1x Plastic hay rack, 1x Plastic food dish, 1x Plastic water bottle, A plastic house for your guinea pig to hide in and a big access door.

Also if you buy it in Pets at home it comes with: A trial bag of Back-2-Nature, A small bag of timothy hay(well it's called a small bale but it is not that big) and a sample bag of Pets at home guinea pig or rabbit nuggets (it depends what pet you have).

Price
In Pets at home at the moment it is £35 reduced from £65 which is a good price. There is also another one that is the same type but 120cm for £50 which is a better size for rabbits.

What I think of it
I think it is much better than the old cage and gives lots more space. Compared to lots of pet store cages it is much bigger and gives your guinea pig plenty of room to run around and play. If using it for a pair they will have space to get away from each other. The hay rack holds plenty of hay for a pair of guinea pigs. The water bottle holds lots of water and doesn't leak. The food dish holds plenty of food and is washable which is always helpful with guinea pigs! The house is a good size and comes out for easy cleaning and when you clean out your guinea pigs. The access door is the whole of the front which helps when trying to catch your guinea pigs and when you need to clean out. I will definitely buy another one for Bramble and Patches at some point.

I would definitely recommend this cage to a new guinea pig owner.

Wilko meadow hay rolls for small pets 1kg

Hi readers, today I am reviewing Wilko Meadow Hay Rolls for small pets 1kg.

The Product:
Wilko meadow hay rolls are made of meadow hay (grasses, herbs and wild plants) compressed into cylinders.

The idea:
These are great to use instead of loose hay as a treat, or if you have allergies, as they are less dusty etc.

The cost:
A 1kg pack cost £3 whereas Rosewoods cost £4.50

My review:
I think these are brilliant as I am allergic to loose hay. Easy to remove from the cage and the piggies enjoyed them.

The Piggies review:
"Whee think these are yummy. Our hooman made a good choice buying these."

I really suggest these for piggie owners who are allergic to hay,
