So I know that our guys need additional calcium for another 3 months or so (6 months old at that point), is it ok to feed them Cavy Cuisine and Timothy hay? For the past two months we've been feeding them Cavy Performance (alfalfa-based) and a mix of Timothy and Alfalfa hay. I always have an alfalfa block in there and have access to dandelion greens as a source of calcium.

With the switch to Cavy Cuisine and Timothy hay, do I need to supplement their calcium requirement with more dandelion or other higher calcium veggies?
 
I would continue the Cavy Performance and Alfalfa until 5 or 6 months old, then make a gradual switch my mixing the hay and pellets.
