Weaning

To change from one type of food to another should take roughly 2 weeks.

I assume you're changing from one type of pellet to another, so start by adding a few new pellets to their current pellet ration each day, gradually increasing the ratio of new to old.

Yes it's pellet to pellet :)
 
How much of the pellet that they are on do you have left? I would add a bit of the new pellet bit by bit until you are barely putting any of the original pellet in. :) I changed my guys over from excel to SS and I took just over a month because I had quite a bit of excel left. :)

I've not got the buns yet but they currently have A&P pellets. I can't find that anywhere in my area and don't want to rely on the Internet so I'm hoping to feed them SS. The buns will come with changeover feed when I get them though.
