Mostly, people throw in some blocks for them to gnaw on at 6-8 weeks or so, but they don't really eat them at first. If you want to get some before your Henry's arrive, Kaytee Forti-Diet for rodents (blue bag) are available at many pet stores.
When you get the FV, you might want to mix it 50/50 with the Esbilac. It's what many people feel to be the ideal formula.
