Okay when I first got my piggies I gave them pets@home timothy hay and they hated it. I think it depend on the brand and your piggy. Maybe try :http://www.timothyhay.co.uk

with @Maisy and Poppy - some Timothy hay is no good at all. I but most of my hay online but, if I need to get some from a shop, I buy meadow hay - or the Alfalfa King brand of Timothy hay

Have you tried softer meadow hay? Timothy can be very strawy and not nice tasting.

Is your boy single or has he got a companion? This can also infuence their eating; single piggies are much more picky than pairs or groups where the "I want what you have" reflex is coming into play.
