Careless Will not eat new food?

Okay, well recently I have been trying to mix in this timothy hay based pellet (I don't remember what brand) with Fiesta (I know horrible, but that's what the pet store woman had told us to buy when I got my first pig from Petco, I know, bad me agian for buying him there!). And in a day they will eat almost all the fiesta (execpt corn and colored bits) but no new pellet. In a litte while I want to purchase Oxbow or Kleenmama (which one?), but for now how do I get my 2 pigs to eat their pellets?

Well personally I just switched cold turkey. I ditched an almost brand new bag of Kaytee. Mine never seemed to notice the difference. Maybe if they didn't have a choice they'd eat the good stuff.

Offer a kid an apple or a cookie, most likely they will take the cookie.

It would help to know the name of the other brand. You need to ditch the Fiesta in the trash now because you are only promoting your pigs to eat unhealthy garbage.
