why some hay says only suitable for rabbits?

[piggiemummy03x]

does anybody know why some hay only says suitable for rabbits? i’ve noticed it on a fair few bags, burgess, p@h etc who have other hay that saya suitable to both rabbits and guineapigs so what would make them different? i didn’t realise till the other day the recent timothy hay i had bought only had suitable for rabbits on it!

There isn’t a difference - it’s a marketing thing.
As long as it is a grass hay then even if it says rabbits, it’s still absolutely fine for piggies

I've noticed that sometimes they put this on thicker types of hay so I wondered whether it was to discourage people from using it as piggy bedding to avoid hay-poke... but that's just a guess! We buy it but use it in the open area where they won't burrow into it. They like to tackle those chunky stems!

It’s just marketing usually.
