Answer
Dear Sammi,

I am afraid that I can not give you much insight into what he should be fed becuase I do not know how much he weighs or the level of work he is doing.  Therefore I have no idea what his requirements are.  Also I would need to know what he is being fed in pounds or kilograms and the actual type of pellets etc as I am not familiar with the feeds that you say you are feeding.

I would be more than happy to help you further if you can get me more accurate information.
