Hay and Guinea Pigs

Question
I have recently learned that I am extremely allergic to both alfalfa and timothy hay. I know that hay is an important part of my piggies digestion and have been giving her fresh grass to compensate. Is this a safe alternative?

Answer
I know how you feel Jennifer, I'm allergic to both as well. I seem to be more allergic to it when it flys everywhere. Have you tried giving timothy hay cubes? Those are a little better on the allergies with me at least. As long as they have fresh unlimited amounts of grass it could be good. :)
