Description: Hay should make up the large majority of a guinea pig's daily diet, and Oxbow's blend combines Timothy and orchard grass to give guinea pigs textural and flavor variety that can encourage more consistent intake than a single hay type alone. Continuous access to hay is essential for guinea pig digestive health, since it keeps their gut moving properly and, like rabbits, supports the ongoing wear of continuously growing teeth. Orchard grass tends to be slightly softer and sweeter-smelling than Timothy, and offering both in a blend can help pique interest in guinea pigs that have gone off a single hay type. Oxbow harvests and packages its hay with attention to freshness, and owners should store any unused portion in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space to prevent mold, which is dangerous if ingested. This blend is intended as an unlimited-access staple, not a rationed treat — guinea pigs should essentially always have fresh hay available.
