Teenage Guinea Pig
I ordered a new timothy hay to try and it’s nice but it’s quite stalky. Would it still be an eye poke risk if I chopped it up into small strands and mixed it into the meadow hay?
It’s not the hay day one is it?They don’t seem interested in it
Will probably put it on Gumtree!
Cheers piggies
I agree, thought it’d be nice for rabbits.This is the one I'm having problems with too. They do eat some of it but there is a lot of waste, they love the seed heads though! I shan't buy anymore of this one when it's finished. I think it's a good hay for rabbits but too stalky for most piggies, except the Goblins of course!
Just tried Little Hay Co. 2nd cut timothy, they love it, hardly a strand left. Horribly expensive though. It would be cheaper for me to get the Burgess timothy in P at H at £6.50 a bag. They do like that, it's easier to store and it's a 15 minute walk each way to go and get it. Who knew hay could be so difficult!
Good luck!I know the feeling. I'm trying to find a hay that all six will eat well.
I'm constantly reading about piggies being fussy with the hay. Is it something they develop when older or am I just lucky?
I've never had a problem like this before. I think it's because they had too much of a good thing with haybox which was lovely for years, when it went off we had a problem! They do eat most hay I offer but not as much, there's a lot of waste. With Timmy having a slightly misaligned molar I need him to eat a lot of hay to avoid vet treatment and obviously I'd rather not be throwing so much away!I'm constantly reading about piggies being fussy with the hay.
