Just general farmer's hay. You can get this from your local pet shop or garden centre. I would recommend not getting the hay in a tight cuboid shape because this will not taste very nice to your guinea pigs, but use the more natural-looking hay in a bag. Do not give your guinea pigs grass cuttings from your lawn mower because it goes mouldy very quickly.
