PSA to new piggie owners
It’s come to my attention that not a lot of people know what type of hay piggies under 6 months need so this is just a PSA. If your piggy is under 6 months alfalfa hay should be their primary hay source with a bet of Timothy hay so they can easily transition after the 6 months. Alfalfa hay should not be feed to piggies that are over 6 months regular due to it can cause kidney stones! Also check if your pellets alfalfa base!! Some pellets out there are marketed towards adults guinea pigs but they are soy and alfalfa based. Pregnant sows can be feed alfalfa hay though since they are eating for 2+.
