Out of Hay

[Junipertheguineapig]

So since Coronavirus is pretty intense where I am, I am unable to get more piggie hay from the store. I ordered more but it's taking awhile. I am feeding pellets but I know that's not good alone. Any idea of anything I should add to the diet until their hay comes.

Pick grass

Do you have access to grass that you could dry yourself to feed as hay?
could you find a farm to deliver a bale of hay?

I suggest grass, dandelions, any forage you can get your hands on

Thanks so much for the tips. I have some ideas of where to get some forage

 

[Piggies&buns]

grass is your best alternative, not dandelions. Dandelions in excess can cause issues

Abi has posted a forage post on the forum which might help though it's UK based but you might have some of the same weeds Safe wild weeds/plants you can feed your piggies

Also worth thinking about lowering the veg you feed if you feed grass and weeds as too much wet food can cause upset stomachs
