Timothy Hay for Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs need hay for healthy digestion and to naturally wear down their continuously growing teeth.

Guinea pigs should have unlimited access to fresh hay—it's the most important part of their diet.

Yes. Timothy Hay is vet-recommended for guinea pigs and ideal for daily feeding due to its high fibre and low calcium content.

Yes, as long as the flavours are natural and pet-safe—like the apple, carrot, and dandelion blends we offer.

Second cut is usually preferred—it's soft enough to eat easily but still has enough fibre for digestive and dental health.

Keep it in a cool, dry place in a breathable container like a cardboard box or cloth
bag—avoid sealed plastic.

Yes. While alfalfa can be fed to very young guinea pigs, most can safely transition
to Timothy Hay early for long-term health.

Leafy greens like romaine lettuce, kale, parsley, and bell peppers are great choices. Feed fresh veggies daily in small amounts alongside unlimited hay.

Guinea pigs can eat Timothy Hay, fresh vegetables, hay-based pellets, and small amounts of fruit as a treat. Avoid sugary, processed, or high-calcium foods.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Use breathable bags or boxes – avoid airtight plastic
