Would it be OK to give normal horse hay to a guinea pig instead of the meadow hay?
I have been feeding my guinea's meadow hay for the 3 weeks that I've had them (among dry enriched food,salt lick,mineral lick and vitamin c enriched veggies) but was wondering if I could feed them normal horse hay as I get these in bale's rather than bags like I do for the guinea's?
Also do I need to cut there nails regularly and bath them?
Sorry for all the questions.
Kind Regards
Kate

Horse hay is meadow hay. Just make sure it's good quality with no dust or mold.

We've never had to clip our guinea pig's nails, and she enjoys a shallow bath every so often.
