Can they eat orchard grass daily?

Is this 2nd cut orchard grass okay for them to eat every day? Is orchard grass the same thing as orchard hay? I know they can eat orchard hay but wanted to check.

I believe orchard hay is dried orchard grass. I feed my piggies orchard hay daily. They got bored of Timothy and wouldn't eat it so we switched to orchard and they love it. As long as you've purchased your orchard hay from a reputable source it should be fine.

That picture is of hay, not grass. Hay is dried while grass is wet and fresh. Looks pretty tasty, if I were a piggy.

My gang have it daily and it’s their favourite by far!

Yup I think so. Mine definitely do! All hours!

My piggies have a selection of meadow hay, timothy hay and orchard hay every day.

You can feed timothy, meadow or orchard hay (i.e. dried grass) on a daily basis.
First cut is generally more nutritious for guinea pigs whereas second cut is better for the horse digestion.
