Attention Hay Snobs (like Me)

[PollyThePiggy]

Ok so I just realized this a couple days ago and I HAD to share with those hay snobs out there.
I have been using many different hays more many years. All hh=ave the same problem. Giant pieces of hay which your guinea pigs don't eat and eventually get wasted in the cage. I literally threw away half the hay I feed my guinea pig UNTIL I found this out. Oxbow sells this amazing brand of timothy hay called "Western Timothy Hay." The hay consists of crunchy but not hard or thick pieces of hay. I put a handful in my cage and when my Guinea Pig was done THERE WAS NONE LEFT. I am so exited. Is it bad for her i dont know, tell me below!

My pigs have had that Sadly they lost interest after a while but I must get them some more as a treat at some point, they do some different hays too!

Oxbow Timothy hay is worshiped by our girls they love it.

I have 3 guinea pigs who love hay any type right now I have a bale of Timothy hay I got from a store for 25$

mine like orchard grass hay the most ! timothy hay is very much dependant on the pig preferance ! i do get meadow hay for playing and eating,they seem to always be routing around trying to find the best piece of hay.

We always stock up on Oxbow Orchard and Timothy Hay in the house. My piggies love them! The cheap bag of meadow hay we buy, I let them sleep on it but never the Oxbow ones. They are all in a rack so they won't waste it by pooping and peeing on it. With the cost of the bags, they are classed as precious!

Everytime hubby and I go for a holiday in America, I always ask him if I could smuggle Oxbow hay to UK. They are grown in Nevada and we usually go around Nevada. Too bad I'm not allowed to do that!

I’m probably going to get a orchard Timothy mix next time

My lot like the orchard grass as a treat (they would probably like the timothy too if I wasnt horribly allergic!). If I put the oxbow in at the same time as their cheap meadow hay from a local farm they'll ignore the oxbow I suppose I should be grateful, they'd cost a fortune to feed if it were the other way around!
