hi,

ive noticed that there are bugs in my piggy's timothy hay. is this normal?

my piggy has just recovered from mites and he is scratching again. could this be the bugs in the hay?

can someone recommend me a brand that doesnt have bugs?

bugs? Wat brand u r using? I have never come across a brand which contain bugs.. Y not try oxbow or zupree.. Living world, chubbygarden,kaytee, american diner all are safe.. I pretty sure unless u got it from a pretty old stock.. Only buy hay which is still greenish in colour.. Dont buy thosw which are yellowish.. Those r old stock unless it is oat hay which naturally is yellow..

Xavi, thanks for the quick response. i bought my piggy's food from PETSMORE and the brand is Beh & Yo. all this while I thought it was normal for the hay / grass to contain tiny insects. poor piggy!! sad.gif

i will go and find the brands that youve recommended!

thanks!!!!

They'll be a roof in the finished version. Its a 3-tier cage, as soon as all the cubes are restocked!

feiDon,

in case you wanna know, Dr Foo at Kepong charges RM10 for an invermectin shot only. I had to go for four shots to get rid of mites on my GP. It was a very painful experience for my GP sad.gif

regarding Pellets..

has anyone tried Cavia Pro? My local petshop ran out of Oxbow and I had no choice but to buy Cavia Pro as it was the only brand available.

My guinea pig refuses to eat it.....is Cavia Pro that bad?

Meh, what a waste of money. Not cheap at all.

they are like tat de.. New to something so wont try it unless one of them take the initiative.. Hagen pellet is quite big as emino has previously said.. U could use knife to slice them to smaller size.. I nvr buy hagen liao as their size and my piggy is use to oxbow..

Cavia Pro is worse! Each pellet has two equivalent Hagen pellet size attached together. Good for dental health it says...

So what do you guys do with your piggies' food when they refused to eat them? Donate away? Exchange?

I dont wanna throw..such a waste of $$!
