Has anyone tried the new style of Science Selective food? The old style had the big square pellets and we used to add it as a suplement to our degu's regular food. Last time we went to pick some up there were a few bags of the old stuff and a few of the new stuff, which looks to be broken up into much smaller squares. Reading the nutritional information on the back there are some small differences, but some things arent included such as sugar content (just says 'no added sugar'). The website also shows the new style: www.supremepetfoods.com/product/science-selective-degu/We havent tried it yet, going through the old stuff first. Does anyone have an idea if is any good? |

I was looking up nutrition on bought food a few weeks ago and noticed this bag design with the smaller pieces shown and was a bit puzzled! The sugar content is fine - there is no added sugar and no ingredients with significant sugar content, and also Degutopia's testing of the (old) product came out at 3.9% sugar so this is fine.
I think quite a lot of us liked to use the big squares as a supplement, it was kind of handy, and seemed to be one of the better liked commercial foods, and also the hardness of it kept them busy!
I've just ordered a bag online, so I wonder if I'll recieve the new or old one. Anyway I'd also like to hear from anyone who has the new product.

Thanks, thats good to know. We have a pack of the new stuff but havent tried it yet. If anything it'll at least mean we no longer have to break up the large peices anymore. All our degu's do currently is take the huge pieces and hide them somewhere!

LOL yes, we keep some big DIY cutters handy for chopping the squares in half or four, they sure are hard to break by hand!

I had ordered 2 bags a few weeks ago and I received the old version. Didn't know even there is a new version, stores will want to get rid of the old first before selling the new.

My new bag came, it's the new style! It's almost the same as the old product, still big biscuits, but they are rectangular now instead of square, about the same size overall, still really hard! My goos still like them! The picture on the pack just looks a bit misleading, they are far away rather than small, LOL, that's a Father Ted joke really ;D
