Suitable Hays?

[Cute_Guineapigs]

Hello

I'm looking for suitable feeding hays that are £5 per 1kg bag or less.

The list at the moment is:
Excel Herbage
Excel Forage (can this be given unlimited?)
P@H Timothy Hay
Excel Chamomile Herbage
Pure Pastures Meadow Hay
Burns Green Oat Hay

Is there anymore that are suitable? Are the ones in my list suitable for feeding?

Hi,

Depending on your transport situation it can definitely be worth going to your nearest farm/feed store. I get a bale of hay for £5, and it lasts for ages!

I get fantastic, soft green meadow hay from my local garden centre for £5.50 for a large bag, which I will use a handful per day at one end of cage for foraging and eating. However, these hays will be used in the hay rack as sort of treat hays.

You could try visiting local farm shops or pet shops, as you will surprised on what you find. I went to the local pet shop near my vets and was surprised to find readigrass and oxbow hay!

I searched on the net for local pet supplies near me and i visited them and found some nice things for the boys and the bonus is you dont pay postage. But you could also look on various websites and do a big order to save on the postage.

This is a good site for different hays and postage is reasonable to. http://www.thehayexperts.co.uk/

Thanks. I've had to choose cheaper feed hays due to cost, instead of the fancier hays, like timothy and orchard grass. Does this matter? I've kept the expensive Oxbow Cavy Cuisine because I think the benefits of feeding this outweighs the cost of it, however I can't afford expensive hays. Do other piggie owners feed cheaper hays?
