hay

I found a flattened mouse in the boy's hay today, and I was just wondering if this has happened to others. I'm guessing it came from the field that the hay came from. Is there anything I should do for my boys if it was in their cage?

In the first photo is the cheaper bale of hay and the second photo is the slightly more expensive option of hay (both grown in Canada) For the cheaper hay If the the bales weigh 40-45 lbs each they should last a solid 3 1/4 - 3 3/4 months (without any waste) and I need 12 lbs a month for 2...

Hi. I just thought I'd let you know guys. The following are the photos/videos I took from the hay I got from HayDay. I have now moved on to Ings hay that @Merab has recommended but this is just for you guys to be aware about Hayday. They claim their hay is dust extracted and long stemmed. When...

Hello everybody, I just wanted your opinions on rapeseed in hay. I purchase the shorefields bale from amazon and the last few bales I've had were amazing quality, lovely soft hay that my piggies devoured! However my most recent bale from them is really stalky which I completely understand hay...

It’s cheaper but I can’t find much info online. It’s the Timothy bale from Standlee. EDIT: MOD Comment Link not working and removed by SB

Hi Everyone, I got such great advice last time I posted, and after reading about the pros and cons of each type of hay, I though I'd try my luck for some advice about keeping a balanced diet for my piggies. I have two boys who get unlimited Oaten (Oat) hay. They are also occasionally fed...

How much hay do you go through in a week for your number of guinea pigs?

Hi! My 5.5 year old boy, Snickers, stopped eating hay a couple of weeks ago. I started immediately on the critical care and took him to an awesome vet who examined his teeth and did an X-ray. She didn't notice anything obviously wrong. He was bloated at the time (from not eating enough. I think...

my 2 piggies are eating less and less hay by the day, but they’re okay with any veggies I hand feed them. they eat all their pellets, just not their hay! my younger piggie has gotten very skinny; skinny to the point where I can feel his back bones! I’m not sure what to do bc they don’t seem to...

Hi everyone! So Little Hay Co sent me a 5KG box of Cotswolds sweet hay instead of the usually silky soft I buy. It’s been opened but not touched and it sealed back up in my shed. I was wondering if anyone here wants it for free? You would have to come and collect it as I don’t drive and...

So I have 2 female pigs about 2-2 1/2 years old so I have a general question. Is it normal for pigs adult pigs to sit in their igloo most of the time or is this something I should worry about ? She comes out for Pets and to eat and drink then goes back in and takes a nap 😴 . Is this a normal pig...

Hello, i am new in this forum. And english isn't my first language so if i make any mistakes please excuse me! 🥲 I had 2 guinea pigs, and one of them (his name was Chips) sadly passed away recently. And Cola (8 months, male) is still with us. I took him to vet after his mate passed away. The vet...

Hi guys, I’ve posted a few times in the last few months about Shaun’s ongoing loose/soft poops. They stick to his feet etc. I’ve posted a long thread about this.. So we still have the ongoing issue. I’m looking for advice. Any thing to try to solve this. Here’s his daily diet: I provide: A...

Hello. Would you help me identify the three certainly different types of hay in this picture? I've marked them as A, B, and C. Please note that the C type is what small amount was left in the bag. It's not usually this leafy. In fact, it's the thinnest hay I've ever bought and snap quite...

Hi all! I’ve seen a lot of piggy parents have a big tub of hay for their piggies to burrow in. I never set one up because I thought it would be expensive and messy but I recently got them a hay cube (a little box filled with hay) and they obsessed! So I think it’s time I set up a burrowing box...

Hi All, I am the proud dad of 4 piggies (3 skinny 1 hair - all same family) and I have had the issue of hay pokes for almost 3 weeks now. I wanted to reach out to some more educated guinea pig caretakers and see if maybe I could get some advice on how to prevent this in the future. One of my...

I'm the dad of Diego and Manny, they are a bonded pair about 3 years of age. When I first thought about getting guinea pigs everyone says that they are going to chew, so make things chew proof or give them things to chew on. But I've had my boys for almost a month and.... They don't chew. I...

My question is about storing hay outside in the cold in Canada. Will it mould if it is in a sealed container outside? Anyone with experience regarding this topic? All suggestions welcome.

Hi guys, I have 4kg of premium Timothy hay to give away. It comes in two 2kg boxes from Little Hay Co. I bought it for my Guinea Pig and discovered I’m massively allergic to it as well as my pig preferring his original silky soft hay. I don’t want anything for it but you would have to come...

Hi! My 7.5 y/o guin pig Nut has been refusing to eat hay for a while - while having a monster appetite for anything that isn't hay (pellets, veg, critical care, joint supplements I feed him). After a visit to the vet we found out that he has overgrown molars trapping his tongue, and today he...
