How much food is too much?

George is now on half an egg cup of muesli and half an egg cup of burgess excell in the mornings, which he gobbles up. He has constant hay in the day and greens in the evening. He also has a branch from a seeded fruit tree if I'm going out to keep him busy (which he eats the whole thing). I've found conflicting info online about whether he should have unlimited pellets or not. I worry that if I give him too many pellets, he won't bother with hay.

Any ideas because he is ALWAYS hungry!

How old is George?

He is 10 weeks old

At 10 weeks I'd be inclined to feed more and very gradually change him over so he's having all pellets rather than muesli. I don't think I would feed him unlimited amount of dry food as he needs to be eating his hay but I would increase to an eggcupful twice a day until he's about 16 weeks.

Brilliant!

Thanks for the help. I've been changing good over gradually and we have got the change over to half a half and he's quite happy and poos are all fine (which I am closely monitoring)
