Alfalfa King Timothy Hay

[obsessedwithanimals]

Do any UK members feed it regularly? Just interested really as haven't heard much about it for quite a while and have just bought some for the piggies from PAH. Also my guinea pigs have been fed on meadow hay all their life and I was wondering if it is okay for them suddenly to have access to all this really good quality timothy hay instead if they're not used to it?

I feed it every day alongside their meadow hay and Orchard grass.

I've fed it for years. My pigs love it! You can buy it in bulk from Viovet.co.uk

Mine loved it but found that they got it so quickly that the cost was too much, it's now a treat and I've replaced their daily Timothy hay woth Hay for pets timothy and rye which they love just as much

My boys sneezed constantly with it and didn't eat it. It was unfortunate because it looked so fresh, green and tasty

I use this with mine & it has the added bonus of being sterile like Oxbow, as the US hays are imported they don't have any hay mites lurking It can be dusty; I always "Decant" mine into bags, give it a really good shake then use the long strands. I do tend to throw the bits at the bottom away because of the dust but mine eat every scrap of it so I feel it's a fair trade off really

I do that too @Poppy'sMum as it does get very dusty at the bottom. This is my pigs' favourite hay and they will go for this over their Orchard grass any day, though that does come a close second.

I do this too! Empty it into a strong black bag and then give it a good shake outside
