I’m getting a baby Guinea pig tomorrow and I remembered I didn’t have alfalfa hay or alfalfa based pellets. My question is will he be ok on Timothy bay and Timothy pellets for a couple days until I can get him some
Yeah he will but it’ll be a week or two. I’m getting him for another one of my pigs who lost his cage mate.Yes, he'll be fine. They don't need alfalfa at all really, especially if the rest of their diet is nutritionally appropriate (80+% hay, some fresh veg and/or forage and a little nuggets).
Will he be joining an older companion after you get him?
That's good. I ask because babies learn from the older piggies around them what to eat, so it makes it easier to get them to eat a good variety of veg if they have somepig to copy.Yeah he will but it’ll be a week or two. I’m getting him for another one of my pigs who lost his cage mate.
