The pigs are on burgess pellets, and in January this year we ordered some bunny guinea pig dream pellets, on the bottom of the packet it says in German 02/16 I'm presuming that means best before February 2016? Anyway, the pellets have already been opened and I was meant to start the transition phase ages ago and the pigs had a little nibble on the but that was it.

My question is, can I begin to try and start the pigs on this packet?
 
I would get them started on them as soon as possible. I tried them but my piggies just wouldn't have them x
 
My Amos has been eating Bunny Guinea Pig Food for over a year. He loves them and is super lively one them. He is quite a greedy pig so I think that helped convert him from pellets to Bunny so easily. An older guinea pig was less convinced with the Bunny. But I did not persevere with him as I had to separate Amos and Sergei after they fell out in a big way. You only have to give 5 (full sized pellets a day) so the bags last a long time. So if I were you I would try and use them as soon as possible. Try and convert all you pigs as it will be much more economical that way. Initially mix a few Bunny pellets broken up with a few ordinary pellets. Then gradually reduce the ordinary pellets. So hopefully the transition to full Bunny pellets will be successful.
