I have been feeding my girls Burgess excel since day 1 but over the last few days they haven't really been eating it. They still eat their hay and veggies but almost completely ignore the pellets. Any thoughts?

My piggies get fed up of the same thing every day so I keep selection of pellets and give them what they fancy each day.

I have literally just been told by my vet that pellets are unnecessary and piggies don't really need them if they get plenty of fresh veggies - I was going to post a query to everyone about this but this post seems an even better place to start.
My boys also eat Burgess Excel pellets. They've never had a real problem with them because we've tried to mix in biscuit treats, dried carrot treats and even yoghurt treats. This has led to Caramel weighing 1kg at 6 months old which my vet says is overweight.
I'm just thinking, can we all be wrong? Should our piggies be eating pellets at all?
