one of my Guinea pigs is 5 months old and the other is 4 months old and the pellets say the adult pellets are for 6 months and older. I am wondering if I can switch to that soon. Right now they eat the oxbow young Guinea pig pellet food.

I'd like to know this too. Both my pigs are close to 6 mo but one of them is pregnant and due these days. After that can the piggies eat Oxbow adult food and get extra calcium from veggies?

Yes, they can eat adult food. Just supplement daily with a sprig of parsley per pig until they're six months or so.
