Thanks for reaching out. The best hay for guinea pigs is probably timothy hay. Low is calcium than alfalfa (less bladder stones) and more palatable than barley and others. Vegetables also need to be kept in moderation, probably 1/2 cup of mixed vegetables (greens and red/yellow/orange) daily. Don't forget the vitamin C supplementation. Good luck
