  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0
I am unsure of the age of my piggies. We got them from petco and my husband didn't ask their age. I now have serious doubts they would know anyways being they gave us males and said they were females. Is there anyway I can determ their age? I have been trying to decide if I should give them Alfalfa hay being I dont know if they are under 6 months old. Any advice? Thank you       |

If you got them from petco then they will be babies and need alfalfa hay or an alfalfa based pellet or you could give them veggies with extra calcium. |

So if I get them Alfalfa Pellets I dont have to get them Alfalfa Hay or should I get them both Alfalfa Hay and Pellets? Can I give them to much Alfalfa? |

if you give them alfalfa pellets then they wont need alfalfa hay but you still need to give unlimited grass hay. |

I give my baby alfalfa pellets and meadow hay but I guess any of them would be all right thats what the members on here told me. |

I would feed both timothy based pellets and grass hay when in doubt of age. If you also feed the minimum of a cup of veggies per day each that should suit their calcium intake. You can always give a little bit of parsley a couple times per week. |

I would feed Timothy hay and Timothy based pellets. With all grass based hays, age doesn't matter. With Alfalfa hay however, it should be fed only to animals under 6 months of age primarily because of its high calcium content. |
