difference between browns and oxbow

[deetea]

ive heard from many forums that oxbow is better but i was just wondering why it was better anyway i am currently feeding my gps browns

[bearies]

no idea... but u can try mixing see which one they like ba... my piggies currently eating sanko, bugress and cavy performance... all mix together de... they usually finish all except the oxfbow de =x

i only feed oxbow leh..i nvr feed burgess cos too ex :P

[BrownNose]

It's said that oxbow are fresher. I used to feed mine with anderson hay, oxbow, browns, burgess, etc. I think it's just at good and fresh. I will get which ever is convenient cos my pigs eat any hay.

Hehehe.. i feed burgess cos it has most vit c.. and quite recommended.. Ex a little, nvm la.. for my bb pigpig

[popcheek]

i feed with Oxbow...coz i bought 10lbs (biggest packet) lol so no chance to change pellets :p
and i feed them 8in1 wild harvest mix...
hay they prefer vitapol/ haypro...eat fast, maybe got the hard & soft & the flower hay....APD i buy then they eat very slow lolx....

Basically, if ur gp is eating the food, and the food has no 'insects' in it, and they hay is green...it should be all right :) coz no matter how good/recomended/expensive..if ur gp dun like it, or even lose weight then it wont be good for it, right

i was using Browns and oxbow hay and kaytee and vitalkraft mix

Why i dun like Browns: the pellets very small.... alot powder.... no big pkt...
Oxbow hay.... 32 oz for $20... vey green... but easily turn brown
Kaytee mix.... nothing wrong.... but i wanna get 1kg pkt.... they dun have....
------------------------------------------------
Gonna Switch Permanantly to Oxbow(10lbs) APD hay, and Prestige (heard its good)

i also order sluis .. but using tat as treat.. maybe twice a week ba.

[ahwen]

Wah... So many varieties... Haha you also go and smell, so cute~ They looked so boring to me... Maybe because your piggies too much variety liao lah, thats why picky... Hehehe! Think can help us do survery on which one is the most preferred pellets among your GPs! Keke...

[bearies]

ahwen dun need la... each piggies like different taste de so no point survery :)

i always mix them with pellets, coz i think if only eat pellets very sianz leh? lolx...
i tried Prestige Premium b4, not bad...now using 8in1, going to finish in mere 4 days i guess.....
so wad should i try next :) it looks like my piggy not so choosy in eating dry mix....eat any brand?
anything tt is nice & healthy? if not i might go for this 8in1 again :) coz the price is $15.50 for 4lbs if i not wrong....plus got discount so will be cheaper :yummy:

[SmallZone]

i hv tried Labdiet recently for 3 days....result to GPs so far so good ...i gona try a month. i have copied fm supplier web n would like put it here;
Labdiet (pellets) is a Constant Nutrition, complete life-cycle diet formulated to maintain reproduction, lactation, growth and maintenance of guinea pigs. Its specially researched formula helps minimize stillbirths, tissue calcification, and pregnancy toxemia. Guinea Pig Diet contains the proper amount of stabilized vitamin C .
*No supplemental greens are needed.

Features and Benefits
-Complete diet eliminates need for supplements
-Contains the proper amount of stabilized vitamin C
-Minimizes stillbirths, tissue calcification, and pregnancy toxemia

It means that for all age of GPs not for only pregnancy.

The only problem is the retail price of $26.40 (6lbs) - is much much highest than oxbow but you may reduce to supply hays.

Cheers:)

although the labdiet no need veggy....
but i still like to have the idea of giving veggy fresh to pigpig
beside happy looking at them munching & tearing the leaves, holding the stem down with its paw (pupu does that)...and i got to go supermarket and choose choose 'mmmm wad to buy today for pigpigs?' :)

if i ever ever ever get pregnant piggy, then i might consider the labdiet...to ensure they got enuff nutrition :)

[bearies]

i considered trying labdiet... but i cant possibly order labdiet only and expect them send foc ba... now i got sanko, oxbox and burgess... sluis soon

Bearies, when I started feeding sanko to 'em, they'll leave it to the last and they'll eat burgess 1st...then after like abt 2 weeks, they started to eat sanko 1st... :D
