Re: which hay is better?

You're spending a lot of time creating a lot of threads to ask a lot of questions. It will be a better use of your time to start with reading through all the information in the newbie thread as well as all the stickies on the forum and everything on Guinea Lynx. There's a lot you need to know and this is the best way to start learning it all. After you read all that, forum searches can often answer very often asked questions such as this.

As far as the question you posted in this thread: for a pig over 6 months old they need an unlimited supply of grass hay. That cold be timothy, blue grass, orchard grass, ect. This does not include alfalfa.

Re: which hay is better?

Please post your questions in the appropriate forum for that question. Any diet related questions belong in Diet and Nutrition. Questions about cages belong in About Cages, Accessories (bowls, hideys, etc.) belong in Accessories. I'm having to move your posts around to the appropriate sections which creates more work for me and less time to give advice to people.
