| Texture of Timothy Hay Hey everyone. I currently have 3 goats for which I buy bales of Timothy Hay. I think they hay comes from Canada (I live in the US). When guina pig hay is described, it's referred to as "soft". I wouldn't exactly describe the hay I get as being "soft". I'd like for them to be able to use the same hay if possible. What exactly am I looking for? Should the pieces of hay be soft enough to bend without breaking? Now I'm feeling stupid but I don't want my piggy to get a hay related injury! |

| Re: Texture of Timothy Hay Yes. It should not be sticky at all. it should be long strands of mostly green with a brown tinge. It should smell like grass, not moldy or dusty. Goats are able to consume a lower quality of hay than pigs. You may need to find the nearest store that sells Oxbow to you, or order from Oxbow or Kleenmama's or American Pet Diner. |
