To save money, I thought I would take some hay from my friend’s barn. They have cows and chickens. Is that safe for Guinea pigs, or should I not use that hay?

It is not recommended to use hay from a barn that also houses cows and chickens for your guinea pigs. This is because the hay could potentially be contaminated with bacteria, parasites, or other pathogens that could be harmful to your guinea pigs. It's better to use hay that is specifically marketed for small animals and is free from any potential contaminants. While it may be tempting to save money, it's not worth the risk to your guinea pigs' health.To save money, I thought I would take some hay from my friend’s barn. They have cows and chickens.
