nibblepig
New Born Pup
Hi I would like to seek advice on how to transition from grass to hay. My guinea pigs had them since they were babies (abt 2 months) now turning 4 have been on mainly a grass diet specifically napier grass since that is what mostly is fed on my country also because hay is very expensive I am studying and cant afford it also take months to ship when I order bit I feed them unlimited grass fresh veg daily, feeds and a little bit of treats. sometimes I try to air dry it for days to make it like a hay but they dont like that very much they prefer fresh ones so I do harvest grass 2-3 times a week. 3 months ago I brought a bale of stargrass hay a local hay in my country and regret it cuz they only take nibbles and not really eat it properly. I bought 1 kg of timothy this time just to test it before going on bale. I noticed they started eating however when I give grass they still prefer that one, I tried stopping grass for few days and noticed small droppings. Now A bale of timothy I bought online arrived and it was much better from the first one I ordered much greener and they really like it. How do I introduce them to hay diet because ever since I had them I really want to give hay once I can afford thank you.
