I have recently got a rescue guinea pig and he has come with the Gerty Guinea pig dry mix (a musli mix) He is already underweight and I have noticed that he only eats a couple of different bits of the food. Therefore I want to change it to a complete nugget. I have chosen Harrington’s and I was wondering how to go about changing his food as I don’t want him to lose any weight in the process
 
Welcome and great that you were able to rescue him.

I would change it slowly but in the meantime, give him some veggies and herbs also. They need the nutrients and vitamins from veggies to stay healthy.

Things went very well, I introduced the new dry mix for the first time yesterday and since it is all he has eaten. It went so much better than expected.

He has lots of veggies and enjoys rosewood treats from time to time along with his timouthy hay
