Question New younger boy coming soon.

I will be getting a three month old male soon and I've seen on this site that all piggies under a year need to be fed alfalfa and alfalfa based pellets. My question is since I have a piggie who is around three years of age how should I feed them without giving the older one to much calcium in his diet and giving the young new to little. I have yet to figure out how this will happen and I don't want to get it wrong and end up having one or both of them get sick because they aren't getting what they need. Please help.

Re: New younger boy coming soon.

Easiest way would be to continue to feed timothy based pellets and grass hay. You can supplement the younger boy with parsley 3-4 times a week and a small bit of kale a couple times a week during laptime.
