On my Timothy Hay-Kob bag it says to give them half a handful a day - according to the animals size but in all the pictures on this site theres much more. How much should a adult female peruvian get?

Half a handful?!?!?!?! That is definitely not enough! Your guinea pig should always have access to hay, unlimited amount. There should always be hay in the cage.

Ack! That is not enough. You should be giving a generous amount of hay, unlimited, daily. The piggers not only eat it, they play in it and hide in it. Mine would be wheeking in anger if I only gave them half a handful LOL

Forget Kaytee! They stink, giving people bad advice. Give them a whole kleenex box stuffed full! (broken link removed) sells the cheapest, freshest, bulk, greenest, non-pet-store hay there is!!! =) Good luck! Kaytee hay is gross compared to kleenmama's.

i thought you said a handful, and i was like, hey thats not enough! then i read that it was HALF a handful. can you say shocked? i have a gird bent into a wide u shape, and it will be stuffed completely with hay, in addition to a ghrocery sack which will be stuffed with hay. plus, i imagine i will have to keep replenishing it throughout the day.
