No, don’t totally eliminate pellets. Did the vet feel like he was overweight?

I would just slowly switch over his pellets.

How much greens are you giving him too – maybe you are giving him too many greens.

I think if you can try to get him a little more active that would be the best.

Definitely don’t cut out the pellets, just switch him, Maybe cut down on the greens a bit, but 2 cups isn’t over doing it, I wouldn’t think. I think if you can get him to exercise more, maybe get some boxes and make alittle maze, or something to get him excited would help. I sure he has toys, but sometimes with Oreo I have to think up new things, because he gets bored with the same toys, so I have different sets, and I switch them up every few day, or once a week.

Coming off the alfalfa pellets should help. What type of hay does he have? You didn’t mention treats….c’mon, you give treats right? We’re all guilty of that right? he he!

Not too bad, I think alfalfa would contribute more so. Also watch out for wheat hay, even possibly oat hay too…

I think I would slightly cut back on the treats – one or the other but not both. Maybe give raisins, just a couple, instead of a bigger strawberry. Fruits have a lot of sugar so they are more fattening than they seem. He doesn’t need to have carrots regularly, it’s just a vegetable they like. You could try some new vegetables as treats, like a sprig of mint or cilantro. Definitely the alfalfa pellets changed out gradually – maybe try introducing 1/2 new Oxbow and 1/2 alfalfa at first, then fewer alfalfa each time.

Is it 2 cups of veggies a day, or a meal? 1 cup in AM, 1 in PM is not too much.
Would love to see a picture.
