Here is a good brand of pellets which is available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Oxbow-Cuisine-Guinea-Timothy-5-Pound/dp/B0013L2DSC/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1411418135&sr=1-1&keywords=oxbow+guinea+pig+food

  1. Use Oxbow adult guinea pig food (this stuff-- https://www.amazon.com/Oxbow-Essentials-Guinea-Timothy-5-Pound/dp/B0013L2DSC ). The dried fruit isn't good for them. At the very least, you should pick out everything but plain pellets. They might be picky about it at first, but that's fine. You can mix the two (sans junk) for a week or so, and strictly speaking, guinea pigs don't NEED pellets. They need timothy or orchard grass hay 24/7 though. The cheapest place to get it will be at a tack store for horses if they sell by the flake, but pet stores will have it.

    1b) Each pig should get 1/8 cup i.e. 2 TB of plain pellets a day, plus 1 cup of veggies. Romaine lettuce, cilantro, and green bell pepper make a perfectly fine dinner.

    1c) They need the veggies for vitamin C. You can also give them Oxbow vitamin C tabs or Child Life's Vitamin C (they'll drink it out of an eyedropper). Never put liquid Vitamin C in their water.

  2. I'd put them in the C&C as soon as it's ready. You're not going to screw up your relationship with them in the first few days by moving them once, and a big cage will be good for them. For boars, try to give them 2 of everything -- water bottles, food bowls, hides, etc.

  3. How dirty are they? I'd do the nail trims soon because you don't want their nails making it hard for them to walk. The baths, unless they're matted, can probably wait. (I like to do them when it's really warm outside; use a gentle shampoo like EarthBath hypoallergenic cat shampoo. Any unscented cat or rabbit shampoo should be fine). But as long as you make sure they don't get cold you can do it anytime. It will be upsetting and scary for them but if they're a real mess it likely needs to be taken care of.

    Good luck with your new friends!
