Junior Guinea Pig
Firstly I would like to start this post with MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all and that I've read various posts on this subject 
I'm struggling to find a hay that my guinea pigs really seem to eat, enjoy and not waste a lot. I've tried various shop bought ones and while hay is good for bedding, warmth and enrichment too, we all know it's really important for them to eat. So I'm concerned they aren't really eating it.
I've always had lot of success with readigrass, they love it. But I see a lot of concerns raised about the calcium levels and should be used as more of a treat rather than a staple like hay.
I've also tried bales of hay from local farms but this can come with issues. The last lot gave them lice/mites.
Can anyone recommend any shop bought hay that they have good success with. I really appreciate any advice and recommendations you can give.
