Raising a piggy in India

- And got the T-shirt
sahil, I doubt that any GL member has any experience with shipping hay, and from what I can read, international shipments of hay are measured in tons. That's a lot of guinea pig hay. I think you'd probably do better to search on the Internet for a supplier in a country close to you and see if you could get a smaller shipment.
One thing that has been suggested to earlier posters is to look for horse farms. Someone who raises or races horses might be willing to sell you a bale or two, which would last you a year or more.

Guys, I live in Bangalore, and will not always have information on things in other states. But guess how I found the information that I DO have? By doing searches on the net! Google is your friend!
If you are interested in having more hay options, start ordering from the site and talking to them, so they know that there is interest in Oxbow or other piggy products.
Ag, the price on the site is pretty much what I pay in stores here. The site may be better to order from, because the product turnover will be higher. Try talking to the company about buying in bulk. Maybe they can give you a deal.
Sahil, try the link, dude! The money you pay for shipping from the states will be more expensive.
Bpatters is right about the hay shipments being in tons. I've spoken to several companies regarding this. Even companies in Bombay will not send me less than 2 tons.
The horse farms in Bangalore do not have good quality hay (lots of bugs and mold), but perhaps farther up you'll get something good?

Ag, also regarding the pair of piggies you have, the guy who sold you your pigs is COMPLETELY wrong. Please gain as much information as you can on this site, just as Pooja has.
Let the breeder also know how much damage he is causing by giving out the wrong information just to sell off the pigs and make money.
