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.
