Supreme Science Selective Rabbit Food
by dawnymarie I am a gorgeous black and white Dutch Rabbit - I enjoy doing 'happy flops' 'binkying' and eating! These are fun things that us bunnies get up to - a binky is a leap in the air with a bit of a twist at speed, a happy flop is where I literally flop down on to the floor on my side and lay real still and I think eating is self ... explanatory. I don't know how or why or when excactly it was that I decided to be 'selective' with my food. It just kind of happened when I was foraging around in a bowl of mixed food that was made up of flakes and pellets and other goodies, the idea of this mixture is that you eat a variety of all of it - the thing was that I only liked one or two of the coloured delights and the rest I left in the bowl. I really didn't like the green ones - yuk! Then one day the bowl arrived and had a really appealing scent - aniseed! Well I had never eaten this before but it sure smelt good. I was straight over to the bowl to investigate - to my delight these nuggets where delicious and I just could not get enough of them, sometimes I would look all lost and bewildered and appealing so that I would get more! I was hooked on this food and I tell you what, when the other 'mixture' was offered to me on rare occasions I just left the lot and then they never gave it to me again. I am a Selective bunster! Selective by brand name and selective by nature - but I am worth it. ------------------------ THE TALE ABOVE IS OF A TOTALLY BRILLIANT BUNNY 'SMARTIE' ------------------------ Smartie was a joy! He was full of vitality and fun. He is no longer with us now and greatly missed but the memories we have are unforgettable as he was a real character. -------------------------------------- SMART BOYS FAVOURITE NOSH -------------------------------------- This rabbit was born to be posh I think. He would not eat just anything and would root and fuss in the bowl until he dug out what he fancied if we fed him the mixed food. That is how we, thankfully, found Selective which is made by Supreme Science. We needed to ensure that the little guy got the important nutrients to complement his diet of hay and veggies and the odd seed that he was very very partial to! Supereme Science 'Selective' appealed initially because the name was so appropriate. The food is designed to meet all of a rabbits nutritional needs and it discourages selective behaviour - that is probably because there is no choice of mixed food in this product, it is all nuggets of the same flavour. It is high in fibre (19% alfalfa) and even includes prebiotics which is great for a rabbit to maintain a healthy digestive tract - as if a rabbit stops eliminating faeces it is deemed an emergency and advisable to contact a vet at the earliest convenience to seek advice. Smartie bunster (one of our many names for the lad, he must have got very confused at times) had a coat so shiny it was unbelievable (the food includes omega 3 and 6 and linseed oil) and such vitality and energy, so this food certainly suited him well. It smelled good too, just like aniseed - I didn't try it though as I took his word for it that it was good! The nuggets (biscuits) are made from top quality raw foods and has a low sugar content which promotes good health and a happy life. The ingredients and prebiotics also benefit the rabbits immune system. So all good stuff in here and it really does complement a healthy diet and maintain dental hygiene too! ------------------- WHAT IS IN IT? ------------------- Alfala - Wholewheat - Wheat Feed - Soya Bean Hulls - Linseed - Flaked Peas - Sugar Beet Pulp - Soya Bean Oil - Salt - Minerals - Llysine - DS Methionine - Aniseed and Fenugreek Oil. ---------------------------------------- SATISFACTION - DO YOU GET IT? ---------------------------------------- The way that I get satisfaction from this product is that it comes in a quality and appealing bag (differing sizes available) and the cost is reasonable for a high quality food. Of course I can't vouch for the texture or flavour of these nuggets but I am very satisfied of their quality and yumminess because I have seen first hand how quickly a bowl is emptied of them ( not just when the bowl is tipped down the ladder!) and the glossy coat, clear eyes, dry nose and obvious health of the rabbit was obvious. So we both got satisfaction! ------------------------------ AVAILABILITY AND COST ------------------------------ We purchased this from our small local pet stores or online where there is a good selection of retailers including Amazon. Pets at home did not stock it which surprised me but they mainly stock their own brand - Smartie did not like it. PRICE: 350g £1.49 1.5kg £3.99 3kg £6.99 5kg £9.99 ONLINE RETAILERS INCLUDE: netpetshop.co.uk seapets.co.uk petplanet.co.uk amazon.co.uk ------------------------------------------ MY OPINION - SMARTIES OPINION ------------------------------------------ Presented in a quality bag that keeps food clean and fresh and is thick enough not to burst or rip. Price is competitive and you can shop around to get a good buy. Lasts a good amount of time (approx 50 grams per day) as a complement to the hay and veggies in the diet. Tastes good and promotes health as it includes complete nutrition for a rabbit. A great option for a fussy eater but just remember that once this is tasted the non fussy bunny may become a Selective fan too! Good stuff!

Supreme Science Selective Rabbit Food
by x-cupcake-x I have been buying this rabbit food for as long as I can remember, quite simply because it is one of the best foods readily available. I first found out about it when I joined a rabbit forum around five years ago and started buying it when I adopted my rabbit Archie. Science Selective Rabbit is a complete pellet food, which ... means that rabbits cannot selectively feed as they may with muesli type foods picking out their favourite bits. Not only is selective feeding wasteful as you end up throwing away the bits which don't get eaten it can mean that your rabbit isn't getting everything it needs nutritionally. The food comes in a pale green bag with a picture of a brown and white Dutch Rabbit on it. It tells me that it is Nutritionally complete and balanced food High in fibre 19% With linseed, an excellent source of Omega 3 No added sugar No artificial colours I am also told that each 70 g serving contains 19% fibre, 14% protein, 0.6% calcium and 185 calories - these are all 100% of a rabbit's recommended daily allowance. It is apparently Aniseed and Fenugreek flavour however as I have never tried this myself I cannot comment. The pellets are a pale brown grey colour and are thin cylindrical shapes, around one inch in length. The shape of the pellet has apparently been designed to make the rabbit chew in a way that helps avoid dental problems. They have a slight smell to them but nothing to note and not particularly strong. They don't look very appetising to my human eyes however the bunnies really enjoy them. At feeding time they get very excited and try and get into the tin I store it in as soon as I open it up. The high alfalfa based fibre content means that it aids gut mobility of the rabbit and helps with healthy teeth. I have to admit that I don't feed my rabbits the recommended 60-70g each, they would think they had gone to bunny heaven if they got that much food. I would estimate that they probably get around 50 g between them which may sound quite mean to them, but I believe that dry food should only make up around 10% of a fully grown rabbit's diet and they other 90% should be made up of 80% hay and 10% fresh vegetables. Feeding this diet I have touch wood never experienced any dental or health problems with either of the rabbits and they are both a nice healthy weight. When I took them for their last vaccinations the vet commented on how well they both looked. Science Selective Rabbit is available in the following sizes and price (RRP): 350g (Sample size) £1.49 1.5kgs £3.39 3kgs £5.99 5kgs £9.99 10kgs £18.99 I have found that the rabbit food is more readily available than the guinea pig food. I currently buy mine from my Veterinary Clinic but quite a lot of independent pet shops and online pet stores seem to stock it. Unfortunately the bags in which the food come in do not have anyway of resealing them, so I would advise transferring to an air tight container once opened. I have always found the food to have good best before dates on them usually around eighteen months, so if you have space for a larger bag you may save money by buying the largest bag you can store. Science Selective Rabbit is also available in Junior (4 - 20 weeks) and Mature ( 4 years +). Although Archie is now four years old his partner in crime Holly is only three so I will leave them on the Adult pellets for now, I might consider putting them on the Mature food when Holly gets to that age as it is higher in fibre at 22%. If you are interested in feeding your rabbits Science Selective then I would recommend introducing it gradually over a fortnight by adding a little SS to their current food to begin with and increasing the amount of SS and reducing the current food each day until they are completely on the SS food. This is because rabbits have very sensitive stomachs and a sudden change in food can upset them. The food is slightly more expensive than other complete foods on the market, but a 5 kg bag will last my rabbits for months so the price doesn't really matter to me and I would rather pay a little extra in the knowledge they are getting a healthy food. I would also recommend contacting Supreme via there website as I have always found them to be very helpful and will usually send a sample if you ask them politely. Read the complete review |

Supreme Science Selective Guinea Pig Food
by x-cupcake-x *What is Science Selective?* Science Selective is a range of small animal foods made by Supreme Petfoods. I am reviewing the Guinea Pig food. *What the manufacturers say:* "Science Selective is a nutritionally complete balanced daily diet, specifically designed to ensure that your guinea pig receives all the ... vitamins and other nutrients it needs in a tasty, easy to eat biscuit. The blend of herbs helps to encourage the natural elimination of stored water, eases constpation and stimulates gastric mobility to aid digestion and calm bloating. The Omega 3 and 6 in the linseed promotes a glossy coat. It also contains added Vitamin C as guinea pigs are unable to store it in their bodies but is vital for healthy bones and cartilage." ** *The Packaging* Science Selective comes in a pale purple bag with a picture of a guinea pig on the front. The front tells me that it is made from Dandelion, Fennel & Nettle. I am also given the nutritional information for a 50g serving. I am told that it is nutritionally complete & balanced, has added vitamin C, it is high in fibre and contains no added sugar or artificial colourants. The back gives further information including feeding guidelines, ingredients and typical analysis; this is repeated in Dutch, German and French. *The Food* This food is a complete pellet food, rather than a coarse mix muesli style guinea pig food, because it is a pellet it prevents the guinea pigs from selectively feeding and picking out their favourite bits of the food. Each pellet is the shape of a four leaf clover and about one centimetre in size, they also have a small hole running through the centre of them I believe this makes them easier to break up when the guinea pig is chewing them, apparently the shape also aids dental wear. They are a greyish brown in colour and don't look too appetising to my human eyes. I have sniffed the pellets and they have a similar smell to hay. As guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C (like humans) it is important to me that this is added to the food, a 50g serving of this contains 100% of a guinea pigs RDA of vitamin C. *What I... or more importantly the guinea pigs think* Obviously I haven't tried this food for myself but my guinea pigs said "wheek wheek wheek" when I asked them what they thought of it. When you introduce a new food to a guinea pig it is recommended that you do it gradually over 7-14 days, starting with a small amount of the new food to more of the old gradually changing the ratios as you go. When I did this with my two guinea pigs they immediately picked out the Science Selective first and left the previous brand until last. I started with a sample sized bag which was 350g, and I ordered a 5kg bag as it was apparent how much they loved this food. When I put it in their food bowls they head straight to them to eat it. There are never any pellets left in the bowls by the next morning. It is slightly more expensive than the brand they had before but I don't feed too much dry food so it will last for quite a while. For me the extra pennies are worth it to hear their happy wheeks at feeding time. *The Price* Available in 4 sizes 350g, 2kg, 5kg and 10kgs. The RRPs are 350g (sample size) £1.50-£2 2kgs - £6.99 5kgs - £12.99 10kgs - £26.99 *Availability* I first got this food for free from Supreme, my guinea pigs love it but unfortunately nowhere locally stocks it. However it is readily available from many of the online pet stores, of course if you are ordering online you do have to factor in delivery costs as well. I just use this as an excuse to buy a few other bits and spoil my pets while I'm ordering. *Anything Else to Add* The 5kg bag I bought has a best before date of November 2011, so it is worth buying the biggest bag you can afford. However it can lose its goodness when opened and my bag isn't resealable so if you are buying a large pack make sure you have somewhere airtight to store it once opened. If you would like to try this food for your guinea pigs, I would recommend emailing via the contact us link on their website as they seem more than happy to send samples out to prospective customers, they were also very helpful when I was trying to locate a nearby stockist. The samples are 350g which the pack states is enough to feed an average guinea pig for 7-10 days (30-50g serving). Remember fresh water and hay should be available at all times. ** not included in word count Read the complete review |
