Alphalfa/Orchard Grass Hay

Alfalfa also has lots of calcium which isn't good in cavies over 6 months or a year. I only feed alfalfa to my nursing pig and her babies. You can try ordering Timothy or plain orchard grass from Oxbow (they have a variety).

also, I've heard great things about this hay:

If you can find Oxbow hay, I think it is the best you can buy in a store. At least it is in my area. Orchard hay is great for your piggie. If there is any way you can get this without the Alfalfa mixed in it would be wonderful. Hope this helps! =)

I have a horse and feed the alphalfa/orchard grass blend which is very fresh.

If you live in an area where you can get horse supplies, you should be able to find a feed store that sells Timothy. I can buy it from my local feed store for $20 a bale which is practically free compared to the tiny bags they sell at the pet store. You probably have a good place to store it since you have the horse.

I have found that (broken link removed) has the most variety, freshest smelling and quickest shipping hay around. Cujo loves the sweetmeadow farm hay and the orchard grass. Give Al a try - you won't be disappointed!

White Plains is 20 - 25 minutes north of NYC. I also forgot to mention that Cujo loves Oat hay as well. Does anyone one know how nutritious oat hay is for guinea pigs?
