So I just ran out of young pellets and my boars are 4 and 5 months old, is it safe to switch them from young pellets to adult pellets if I supplement their food with some more high calcium veg? I dont wanna buy a whole new bag of young and have to switch part way through. But I want to make sure they're happy and healthy and getting the right nutrition for their age.

Yep. Just give them a spring of parsley per day until they're about six months old.

Can I give them some kale instead of parsley? Parsley is really hard to find in the grocery store right now

Sure. But not much. It has about four times as much calcium as parsley, but also a ton of vitamin A.
