Alfalfa Hay Question

**Tinkr4147** · #1 01-24-08, 09:13 am

Hello,
I am getting a new baby girl piggy this weekend, she is only 6 weeks old from another family whose children no longer want her. I wanted to know how long I should feed her alfalfa hay? Also, are there any veggies that I can't feed her?

Thanks so much!

Alfalfa hay is fed until 6 months of age, but timothy hay is always fed. You should buy both until they are 6 months old. Then just timothy hay or other grass hays.

There is a great thread on the Nutrition and Diet forum. Do a search for veggies and you should find it. I believe it was a thread started by Ly. If I knew how to post a link I would post it for you. Sorry!

Here is that link that newpiggiemommy was talking about. Everything You Need To Know About A Cavy's Diet Also make sure you check out the other "sticky" links at the top of the "Diet and Nutrition" section of the forum.
