Hay??
I have made a huge mistake and bought alfalfa hay for my piggy. I honestly thought it was the same as normal timothy hay, but I guess not. I can't go to the store for the next few days and I'm completely out of normal hay, so should I continue feeding her alfalfa hay or stop and just wait till I get more hay? I don't want to give her any kidney stones from the alfalfa hay, but I swear I've bought it before for her.
I'd feed it to her until you can get to the store and get different hay. I don't think she's going to develop stones that quickly. Then I think I'd keep it and just give her a handful every few weeks as a special treat.
A long while ago all guinea pigs used to be fed alfalfa pellets because that's all that was available. Every guinea pig did not develop stones, even then. So I don't think you have to be so worried.
