How Much Alfalfa?

My guinea pig is four months old now. How much of the alfalfa should I mix in with the Timothy?

Re: How Much Alfalfa?

When Frisky was under 6 months, I just put in a handful of alfalfa every so often (every couple of days, maybe). Sorry, that's not very precise!

Re: How Much Alfalfa?

I do the same thing. I put in a ton of timothy hay, and like a handful of alfalfa every day or so!

Good Luck!

Lightbulb Re: How Much Alfalfa?

I did the same thing as Pheonix Feather and Newpiggiemommy.

Up until my pig was about 7 months old, I put in about 1 handful of Alfalfa every 2 days and still gave him Timothy.

As mentioned in the previous, give Alfalfa only once in a while.
