This is not an image I took but this is what someone bought. I am not sure whether guinea pigs can eat it because it might be toxic (the ingredients alongside the hay).

I’ve just looked it up the nature’s touch hay online. It doesn’t specify the actual ingredients that I can see. I personally wouldn’t feed it until you can find a definitive answer on what if actually contains.

Readigrass is too rich to be fed to guinea pigs too often. It is fine to give them a handful as a treat, but no more than that.
 
Calendula/marigold is fine for them to eat but all the ingredients say is ‘plants, fodder, vegetables’ without specifying what plants or vegetables are used.
 
Ingredients include as well as meadow hay:
fesue, ryegrass, sativa, felty germander and 40 others which are unknown.

I have fed nature touch before, 2 bags of it, no issues, but I stopped buying it just incase. It was only for a change up. Its too expensive for how much you get aswell
 
You had no problems with it- does that mean it might be okay for at least a week?
 
I feel that any hay which contains such added extras such as these flower type of forage should be as treat hays and not fed exclusively for any length of time.
