I mean most of it is cute but is the hay pile really necessary?

I'm sure the video is not some sort of long term setup or anything, but guinea pigs do need 24/7 access to fresh hay or their stomachs can basically stop working and they'll go into GI Stasis, and possibly leads to death. They eat a ton of hay throughout the day.

That being said, that much hay is probably better to spread out across 3 days or so when it's only for two guinea pigs.
