My guinea pig only eats pellets, ignoring hay. How do I fix this?

Question

My pig only eats pellets and not hay. We give her lots of hay but she just ignores it. What can we do? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | unspayed

It might not like that hay. If it comes from a pet store there is a chance it is old and dusty. Try finding someone with horses and ask if you can buy a slice of grass hay from them. Might cost you two or three dollars, but will be far nicer hay and your piggy will likely eat it.
