Guinea Pig Hay
Unlimited Timothy Hay (or a grass hay) is recommended for use as guinea pig hay. For young guinea pigs under the age of 4 months and pregnant or lactating mothers, alfalfa hay is also recommended as guinea pig hay. For those cavies, you could mix half Timothy and alfalfa. Since alfalfa hay (a legume, not a grass hay) is too high in calcium, it should only be given to adult guinea pigs as an occasional treat. Timothy and alfalfa are types of hays, not brands of hay. Other grass hays include orchard hay or meadow hay.
One of the most important items in the guinea pig diet is grass guinea pig hay, and guinea pig hay should be fed in unlimited quantities to both adults and baby guinea pigs. It is important to provide an unlimited source of guinea pig hay because pellets do not provide enough long fiber to keep their intestines in good working order. The long fibers of guinea pig hay stimulate muscle contraction of the intestines to improve and maintain gut motility (to prevent gastrointestinal obstruction).
Chewing guinea pig hay is also important. Like rabbits, the molars in guinea pigs are constantly growing and must be ground down by chewing. Constant chewing on guinea pig hay promotes healthy and normal wear on their molars. Treats and chew sticks are not efficient at wearing the teeth as guinea pig hay is.
Alfalfa guinea pig hay is rich in protein and calcium, but when combined with pellets it doesn’t have the proper ratio of calcium and phosphorus. This can lead to improper gastrointestinal motility, such as diarrhea. It also may predispose certain guinea pigs to calcium oxalate bladder or kidney stones. Timothy hay as guinea pig hay is a far better choice. It’s important to keep your guinea pig sleek, so cut down on the amount of protein and calorie-rich pellets while feeding timothy guinea pig hay.
If you use guinea pig hay for bedding or as a top layer of bedding, or if you are liberal with guinea pig hay on the floor of your cage, be sure to change it frequently. Guinea pig hay does not absorb urine; it can mold and cause a damp environment for your guinea pigs. So be generous with fresh, clean guinea pig hay!
Guinea pig hay can be stored for many months, depending on how fresh it is and if kept in the proper conditions. Guinea pig hay should be opened to breath when you get it. Keep the guinea pig hay in a dry and well-ventilated place, not in plastic - A wooden or cardboard box is the ideal place to keep guinea pig hay. As always, West Coast Pet Supply offers all guinea pig hay at everyday low discount prices.
