Formula To Switch Pellets...

[Kricket]

What is the proper way to change the kind ofpellets my buns are eating? I am going to switch to TimothyHay based pellets. Say for example, would I mix 1/8 of a cupof the new pellet with 1/4 of a cup of the current pellet?

Also, anyone notice that Timothy Hay products, pellets, hay cubes and hay is more expensive than alfalfa based feed?

Thanks & Hugs! Krick

Freddysmom posted this formula for switching food:

1st week- 3 parts old pellets/1 part new pellets

2nd/3rd week-2 parts old pellets/2 parts new pellets

4th week- 1 part old pellets/3 parts new pellets

5th week- all new pellets.

(This helped me switch Rue's food. However, Rue is sooo picky that Ihave done the switch way more gradually. i am on the 4th week and stilldoing half and half.)

Hope this helps,
