Re: Can they have These Hay's?

I know some people say no fescue, though have read different opinions and GL says it's fine. Brome, Timothy, and Bluegrass are all grass hays and fine daily. Rye grass can be fed, but not daily. Both Clover hays have high calcium content, so would have to be limited too. Here's a chart of pig safe hays. Guinea Lynx :: Hay Chart and their nutrition info, and here's another Guinea Lynx :: Hay Calcium Chart.

Re: Can they have These Hay's?

Sorry this post is so late! Don't feed the birdsfoot trefoil! It's poisonous. Ly informed me of this. For a complete list of poisonous plants look at the thread: "Everything you need to know about a cavy diet" by Ly. It's very informative.
