Is it true that young guinea pigs need to eat alfalfa hay rather than another such as timothy? I know my rabbit ate alfalfa hay until 6 months to do with proper growth, but does the same thing ring true for guinea pigs? Vixen is about 1-2 months old. Thanks!
 
They can do but personally I never bothered and just gave mine regular hay. The only need a bit of the extra calcium. Others may have different opinions.
