Just mix them like you have done, but gradually take out more and more of the old food each day until you have only the new food left....keep a close eye on him as its no good if he decides not to eat the pellets! O0

@h nuggets, wouldn't attempt the other pellets.

I had this problem when making the same switch. Took ages to get Gus to accept them. Blooming fussy pig!
