Unlimited Pellets For Young Boars.

[Davey-cavy]

My boys are 3 and a half months and I current give them a bowl full of pellets although they don't eat a full bowl. When should I stop letting them have unlimited pellets?

You can start reducing when their weekly growth rate slows down; this happens sometime between ca. 4-6 months of age. Here is more information: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/...or-a-balanced-general-guinea-pig-diet.116460/

As far as I know, at six months you should reduce pellets to 1/8 cup per pig,and also switch to an adult type pig food that contains less calcium!
