How much pellets?

[JadeUps]

Hi!
I’ve got two guinea pigs at 11 weeks old and I think I’ve been over feeding! I read that young guinea pigs should have unlimited pellets so I’ve been letting them have quite a lot. Now I’ve read that they should only have 1 tbsp per pig! They’re currently on adult food and I think they’re choosing pellets over hay a lot of the time. They do eat their cup full of veggies a day! So should I cut them to 1tbsp per pig?
Their weights are 440g and 446g if that’s any relevance!
Thank you in advance.

Do drop their pellets down to one tablespoon. They shouldn't have unlimited pellets.

They can have slightly more of the adult pellets until they are four months of age (1-2 tablespoons per pig per day) and then from four months dropping down to one tablespoon per pig per day, but you need to encourage plenty of hay eating - the more hay the better - and if they are favouring pellets then I would keep them to one tablespoon.

No problem! Will definitely drop them down from tomorrow. I need to start ignoring other websites and Facebook groups.
Thank you!
