Grass pellets v Alfafa pellets?

[cobgirlie]

I have fed a bag of Alfafa pellets to the boys with much success...they enjoyed the feed, it was a good price and it bulks up when soaked to make a good amount for fatty's who don't actually need much feed!! So was happy with it, BUT went to the feed place and they only had grass pellets in this time so I've started them on those instead. They are a bit cheaper than the Alfalfa and the boys are enjoying it as much so I was wandering if anyone knows if there is much difference nutrition wise etc?

Its recommended that grass pellets aren't fed to anything that suffers from or is susceptible to lammi.

Does the sack they come in have a manufacturer's name on it? Could you ring them and ask protein and starch levels of both products? I'm not 100% sure but I think the alfalfa will have more protein and calcium in it than the grass pellets but are otherwise pretty similar.
