Different hays - nutritional breakdown

Anyone have or know where to find the nutritional breakdowns (including calcium) of different hays, like Oxbow timothy, meadow/rye etc? Obviously it varies, but I'm interested in the rough nutritional content.

It's actually for the guinea pigs I'm interested, but I put it in Rabbit Chat as it's also relevant in there!

Thanks :)
 
Thanks for that - very helpful. :)

I'm also wondering about protein content....

Just realised, I should have put this in the diet section - oops!! :oops:
 
Thanks :)

Doesn't seem to be much between them... :?

I guess the best thing to do is feed a variety. Dusty has 4 different hay types (she'd get so bored otherwise, since she can't eat veg or pellets), and the piggies eat absolute stacks of Oxbow timothy, plus dust free hay.
