What brands are they? The brands I listed are the only ones that are good for them. If the pellets contain an ingredient known as ethoxyquin, get good pellets ASAP! Ethoxyquin is a potentially cancer causing ingredient. They brnads Oxbow, KM's, Mazurri5664, and Sweet Meadow are a bit more expensive, but the bit of extra money now, could save you from a possibly serious health issue that will land you with a bunch of pricey vet bills.
Also, the hay from KM's, Oxbow, and Sweet Meadow are excellent. Nice and green, good smelling. I have not heard anythign about Mazurri hay though. Always be sure to check the bags for mold spores and smell, etc... before buying it.
