I think you can mix timothy and alfalfa until 6 months of age. Also, Oxbox has a pellets that is alfalfa based/mixed (Cavy Performance).

You need one of these options until your pig reaches six months:

1. Grass hay and alfalfa hay
2. Grass hay and alfalfa based pellets (like Cavy Performance from Oxbow)
3. Grass hay and veggies with extra calcium (like parsley)

Whatever you do, you need grass hay.

My 2mo baby lives with his brothers, both over 6mos. I know he's a fiend for cilantro, I wonder if he'll eat some parsley too?
