Guinea pigs should always have hay in their cage. Feed them as much as they want. If you want to spice up their forage diet a bit, getting grass from outside (not near a roadway, sprayed with pesticides, or a dog's "bathroom" :). If your guinea pig is getting fat, I don't think it is because of the hay. Read up on what to do then, and if you want a second opinion ask your vet.

∙ 12y agoIt really all depends on the guinea pig's size; If the guinea pig is large about a adult size handful, if the guinea pig is mediu m about a teenager sized handful, and if it a small guinea pig a child's size handful. Make sure you give the alfalfa hay once a day. It is apart of their diet.
You should NOT give alfalfa to your guinea pig if the guinea pig is a male. ONLY give alfalfa to (1)nursing or pregnant female guineas or (2) babies. Give your guinea pig timothy hay once it is around 4-5+ months old

How do you trim a guineapig's tooth?
it's easier to just feed them their timothy hay. if you give them 2 hand fulls a day than that will grind there teeth enough. chewing blocs are also good for this! other than that putting the nail clipper in their mouth might be difficult and you should not do that unless you absolutely know how to do it with out messing their teeth up. their hay will do, and they will live a happy life!
