Getting Them Used To New Food?

[TheCavySlave]

So as I posted on here recently, we recently switched to Cavy Cuisine (expensive, but worth it!) and they're just nibbling here and there. Any good ways to encourage them to eat more?

Pellets aren't a big part of their diet, about 5% of what they eat each day, so having them graze and nibble on them is pretty good. Much better than eating too many and ignoring their hay!

Sadly no.
They are very much their own little personalities, and will pretty much do what they like!
Offer them good quality and unlimited hay, a reasonable amount of fresh, unlimited water, and decent pellets, and they will eat what they need (assuming they are healthy).
In all honesty my lot (4 piggies) eat very few pellets, but they are a good weight, super active, and seem very happy and healthy, so I assume they are getting enough to eat. Although sometimes they seem to feel that they aren't!

I make sure they get plenty of vit C in their veggies, so they're fit as fiddles

Have they started eating them yet? I bought some too but my girls have ignored them so far...
