Hi--quick question. I've had Mips for about a week now, and while he's been eating lots and lots of hay and drinking daily (and producing a LOT of poop!), he doesn't seem terribly interested in pellets; either the Oxbow that I got or the pellets that the breeder sent me home with. I'll occasionally seem him dig through the dish and munch on one, but the pellets in the bowl are decreasing very, very slowly (I put in about 4 tablespoons full this monday and four days later we're down to maybe about 2.5~3...
As I mentioned in the thread title, he's about 10 weeks old--I went through the sticky and some of the older posts, but I couldn't find exactly how much pellets they optimally should be consuming at this age. The Oxbow bag just says "Unlimited supply" for a baby chin, so that's not been terribly helpful, haha.
He's been peppy and inquisitive and does not seem to be visibly overstressed from the transition(happily perches on my arms and sleeps on my open hands of his own volition). Should I be at all worried, or should I just continue to do the pellet transition and make sure to have plenty of hay available? (I'm getting a kitchen scale tomorrow so I can keep an eye on whether he's gaining)
