okay i spoke to the lady at the pet store, and the brand she carries is Otter Co-op. the specs of the one feed are here
if you don't want to click the link, the breakdown is

so this^^ one still has 9% fibre, is that going to be too much for them?
my other option is an 18% hog starter pellet, and it's specs are here
Guaranteed Analysis:
Protein (min.) 18.00 %
Fat (min.) 3.00 %
Fiber (max.) 6.50 %
Calcium (actual) 0.95 %
Phosphorus (actual) 0.75 %
Sodium (actual) 0.20 %
Vitamin A (min) 14000 iu/kg
Vitamin D (min) 2000 iu/kg
Vitamin E (min) 100 iu/kg
Selenium 0.30 mg/kg
Zinc (actual) 200 mg/kg
Copper (actual) 125 mg/kg
Ingredients: barley, wheat and/or wheat mill run, corn, canola meal and/or soyabean meal, vegetable oil, pellet binder, multiphos, limestone, lysine, methionine, vitamin A premix, vitamin D premix, vitamin E premix, copper sulphate, manganese oxide, zinc oxide, ferrous sulphate, calcium iodate
so the 2nd one has 2% more protein, but it's lower in fibre. let me know what you guys think would be most appropriate!
