Well I have been giving lots of hay and wasting so much hay as they have never done more than nibble at the hay. It's been a concern as hay is supposed to be unlimited right?
Well I recently noticed that they really love oat hay. I had it in a wicker ball on the floor of their cage and they also had a toilet roll stuffed with hay as both of them refused to use the manger. Anyway the wicker ball had oat hay and the toilet roll timothy hay. They were on the ball all the time. So FINALLY after months I have found a hay they really like!
I had already ordered Oxbow orchard grass hay at this point as I had heard good things and that arrived yesterday. It's not cheap that's for sure and typically they LOVE it! All of the guineas eat it actually so that's a bit of a result.
I decided for hygiene reasons to put try the manger again so I reattached it and put orchard grass and oat hay in it and this morning I came down to both girls munching hay from the manger which is now EMPTY! I think you call that a result right?
