Will this be self-feed or hand-feed? Pretty high power stuff you have there for self feed - figures to be 84% TDN and 21.5% CP dry matter basis. I think you want the TDN to be around 70% and CP to be around 16% for creep feed.

I agree with the others - soybean hulls might be a good choice, or oats - provides some fiber and "filler" so they don't over eat. Limit feeding something like what you've described might be OK, but you want to watch their consumption.

Actually, what you've described is almost a grower pig ration - take out the molasses and replace proportionally with corn and SBM, and provide swine mineral as well.
