What Food Is Recommended?

[MyPigsAreMyLife]

Hi! I have 2 boys and i don't know what type of food to feed them. The one that i have right now is fine but i'm wondering if there is something better. My 2 boys are 2 years old so if you have any recommendations for food that might be better for them, It would be great if you could tell me .
I'm pretty sure the food i have now is whatever is cheapest at PetCo that my mom buys.

I'm guessing you're in the US, I think Oxbow cavy cuisine or Kaytee timothy complete are the best dry foods available to you.

Make sure you also feed unlimited hay and half a cup of mixed veg per pig each day as well.

For adult piggies, unlimited timothy or orchard (UK meadow) hay should make about 80% of the daily food intake, ca. 50g/1 cupful veg and fresh herbs with very little fruit/tomato (only twice weekly) about 15% and 10-20g (about half to one handful per piggy per day) of pellets. Fresh water without additives daily. Try to make one high vitamin C veg or herb like a slice of sweet pepper/capsicum, a floret or chunk of stem of broccoli or a sprig of fresh herb like cilantro/coriander, parsley, dill, mint, fennel or basil part of your mix of veg.
