these are the current ones. they are eating these ones but leaving the grain freeIt can take a while for them to accept a change - continue with the slow change over until they are fully transitioned onto the new pellets. Plus, it is likely that these pellets taste very different to the ones they were being given - If I remember rightly, your other pellets contain carrot so they likely taste sweeter than the ss grain free.
thats what I'm doing but they will not touch the new at all and just eat the current pelletsI just give less and less of their current nuggets over time.
they are starting to eat it abit but they eat their current pellets first and then the new one lolOn both occasions where I had to change my pigs foods from what previous owner fed to what I wanted to feed, I did I straight swap; no mixing with previous food. This may not be the best option but I feed SS grain free and tbh switching straight to a grass based pellet didn't upset tums at all. Remember, pellets are such a small part of their overall diet and one bit you can actually omit, so don't worry if they don't touch the pellets for a while. Have you tried offering it as treats?
Thats ok. They're probably testing to see if it's safe first.they are starting to eat it abit but they eat their current pellets first and then the new one lol
It's encouraging that they are starting to eat the new pellets. It sometimes takes a while for them to realise what they are. With Guinea Pigs what goes in, stays in as they can't be sick so they are naturally cautious of new food. When I adopted RB Piggy Pretty Patsy, I put a hay cookie in the run as a treat. She immediately backed away from it like it was poison until she saw Meg and Betsy eating it, then she cautiously took a bite, found it tasted nice and she was happily gobbling away after that.they are starting to eat it abit but they eat their current pellets first and then the new one lol
