I order Small Pet Select 2nd Cutting Timothy Hay through Amazon, the 25 pound option. I ordered a batch last month on the 10th and I just ordered again today because I am getting low. I have one guinea pig, and I feel like I am going through hay quicker than I can keep up. How much hay do you guys give your guinea pigs? I tend to give Snickers a bit more than I think he needs because I would rather overfeed him than underfeed him, since he's getting up there in years, but I feel like there's just so much I throw away and that makes me feel awful. I hate wasting hay. I think part of the reason this batch went so fast is because there was a lot of dust and small pieces I had to toss, but still. I usually just give him a large fistful on one side of his cage so he can forage through it, but I'm wondering if I should use a manger so it stays cleaner longer? But then I feel like he doesn't eat as much when he has to pull it out of something. I don't know. Thoughts?
