Try Sweet Meadow. They're based in Massachusetts, so shipping should be significantly cheaper than from KMS. I live in Ohio and I order their meadow hay, but I've gotten their timothy before and it's quite good. http://sweetmeadowfarm.com/

I had five pigs sharing two bottles. As long as yours don't fight over them, two shouldn't be an issue.

I get meadow hay, which as far as I know is the same thing as orchard grass, in bulk from Sweet Meadow. My pigs and rabbit all love it.

It probably has to do with how powerful the scent is. Raw vegetables (like what you'd find in a salad) tend not to have very powerful scents; you can't really smell lettuce unless you stick your nose in it. Fried food, on the other hand, has a way of carrying its scent throughout a building and...

Re: My Small Pet Select Nightmare Hay is grown in fields outdoors, where bugs and other things live. It's unfortunate, but sometimes bugs end up getting harvested with the hay. If hay farms had to refund or replace every shipment of hay that had bugs in it, they'd all be out of business.

Not sure about cats, but I don't think they would eat much of it even if they had easy access; cats are carnivores by nature. Untreated lawn grass is fine for pigs to munch on as far as I know.

Get a pet frog. Free food! :)

I think a testing nibble is harmless, but I certainly wouldn't feed it to them, even as a treat. I've let most of mine nibble on a bit of avocado once or twice.

They're called Guinea pigs for a reason. ;)

I just wash it and let them have at it, stems and leaves. I've never gotten it with the roots still attached, but if I did I'd probably cut that part off.

As with most fruit, you should limit how much they get, as it's very high in sugar. I think splitting a kiwi between two pigs should be fine, but I wouldn't do that more than once every week or longer. As for how to serve it, I'd just peel it and cut it in half.

I would never feed my pigs an entire popsicle, but I've let them have a lick or two if I'm eating one. I don't think there's any harm in the occasional taste, as long as you don't make a habit of feeding them stuff like that.

I've been buying meadow hay from Sweet Meadow for months now. It's fantastic. Way cheaper than store-bought Oxbow, even including the cost of shipping, and way softer, more fragrant and less dry, scratchy hay. The bags are also slightly larger, and the Sweet Meadow bags are packed so tight the...

Mine love Sweet Meadow! Though I get the meadow hay, not timothy. I generally avoid timothy hay as it's much thicker and tougher and irritates my allergies much worse.

I would argue with the notion that Yahoo Answers is "often quite good"...frankly, the amount of misinformation being passed off as truth and fact there is just astounding.

Guinea pigs are herbivores. They eat grass and grass-based hay, leafy vegetables and herbs, and fruit as a treat. Literally nothing on that list is remotely appropriate for a guinea pig.

Some vets, sure. But the vast majority of vets are not specialized in exotics, and honestly probably don't know as much about cavies as bpatters does. Bpatters may not be a vet, but (he/she?) has had tons of first-hand knowledge and done mountains of research on the care that guinea pigs need...

Alfalfa has too much calcium and protein for a healthy adult cavy. That excessive calcium can cause kidney stones.

Can you get orchard grass or meadow hay? Those are both safe options, and in my opinion better than timothy hay anyway.

Completely possible. Pellets are supposed to be more of a nutritional supplement than a dietary staple; a healthy adult piggie should only get around 1/8 cup of good quality pellets per day. Long-strand grass hay should be the majority of what they eat, and should be unlimited at all times...
