Hay for babies?

[Sarahangel]

I've looked through the hay info on here and still undecided which to get. I have meadow hay here, but is there a better one to get for growing babies?

Any hay is fine, if they're very young then an extra handful of alfalfa hay each

Any hay is fine Just be careful with alfalfa as it’s high in calcium

I agree. Any grass based hay - meadow, Timothy, orchard.

You can give one very small handful per day of alfalfa to babies under four months of age. However, it isn’t a grass hay (it’s a legume), is very high in calcium and is not essential to the diet as they should be getting everything they need from a grass based hay and a limited amount of pellets and veggies

I got my pairs when they were under four months and never fed them alfalfa hay. Try the types and see which they like. You can also switch it up sometimes.

When my Rainbow Piggie Velvet had her babies (shop pregnancy) I never fed them on anything different. Same pellets, same hay, same veg. All three grew up healthy and still are.
