Junior Guinea Pig
Hey guys
I'm planning to buy my hay in bulk, roughly 50 pounds at a time probably, as it is the cheapest way to get hay for me.
However, I'm wondering what type of hay to get. I want hay that I can use in my hay box for the guinea pigs regularly. Does this mean I can only use orchard grass hay, or would 3rd cut timothy hay work as well? I've been told that second cutting could cause a hay poke... Whatever I buy in bulk will be the hay that goes in the hay box and is used most often, but I can get small bags of timothy hay as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
