Right now Ula is eating Oxbow Bunny Basics Adult timothy pellets, but she tends to go through cycles of pickiness and will likely refuse to eat it shortly. Her go-to food whenever she becomes finicky is Peter's Maintenance pellets, which is mostly alfalfa based with other hays mixed in. The vet insists she be on timothy, but I have no choice but to switch her back to Peter's whenever she refuses to eat every possible brand of timothy pellet.
Also, her shedding cycles are a lot worse on timothy, which is odd, but I've noticed it several times over the past few years.
So here's my thought: I buy a big airtight container and dump a bag of Oxbow with a bag of Peter's. She never has digestive issues when I switch brands, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I also have an unopened bag of Peter's that I don't want to go to waste. She gets timothy hay all day and some fresh veggies at night. She's currently on 1/4 cup of pellets daily and she weighs 4 lbs.
Is half-and-half an okay idea?
