Hi guys
Noticed the boys great and small food was running low so I am switching them from great and small to Harringtons nuggets and I am wondering how much to give each nugget during the nuggets swich over if that make sence
How has people done this i know everybody is different but I just wanted peoples opinions /Experiences are when switching nuggets how much to give each nugget

I have them half and half when switching them over on to Harrington’s and then 1/3 of Harrington’s before eventually just giving them all 100% Harrington’s

I do the same - increase the proportion of new mix to old mix over a few days before stopping the old completely.
 
Yep a gradual increase of the new nuggets whilst decreasing he old!
 
Now they fussy and are having issues with the nuggets
They are not very happy with them but it’s just a case of trying them until they except them I think
 
I still have some of their original food that I give them occasionally but they’re on Harringtons
 
They seem to be having lots of enjoyment from the Harringtons which is great. I think the Harringtons nuggets feel a bit strange though
Yes definitely an strange textured food
 
Harringtons are a good food Maddie. Mine love them. They may feel strange but Velvet absolutely loves them and prefers them to anything else. Given a choice of forage or Harringtons she will go for the Harringtons every time where as the others go for the forage.
 
They like that a lot better than the last food they were on
 
Right now they’re on a mix of great and small nuggets and Harringtons They seem to really likethe mix of the 2
 
They can be very fussy and very picky sometimes guinea pigs
That’s what I found
 
Haven’t quite managed to get them off the old food yet
 
Still having issues with the Harringtons
The boys aren’t too happy with them
 
Oh dear don’t worry too much, nuggets a healthier but you can mix some muesli in if it’s causing them problems. hay is the most important thing really.
 
Could try science selective grain free? They are more expensive though.
