Hay/Timothy Hay in bulk for guinea pigs

Hi, just wanted to know whether anyone who has guinea pigs uses a local supplier for bulk hay/timothy hay, as opposed to buying from pet shops. Thanks!

    Used to get ours from the local farm supplies shop.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

  • I found buying it in bulk from agricultural/equestrian suppliers was dubious on quality. There was a lot of coarse material which my kids GP's didn't like so they ended up lying on it rather than eating it. The pet shop stuff tended to be finer and much better quality, albeit more expensive.
