Excited about new hay!
« on: February 20, 2008, 11:01:13 AM »
I found this guy on kijiji.com who sells Timothy hay from his farm.  I got 5lbs for $7, instead of the 280g for $5 from the pet store.  To me it seems like better quality than the pet store, the pet store's hay was really brown, which to me means it is old? 

I"m really pleased with the farm hay, but can someone tell me if there's something I should be worried about?  The farmer was even nice enough to deliver it to my husband's work!  And it's hilarious to watch the chins eat pieces of hay that are twice as long as they are!   rofl

Nothing to worry about except keeping it dry.
They sure love a good hay. ::dancingspot::
Yes I wonder where they get that pet store stuff???
I would say it's left overs from past YEARS. :doh:

Yes, I get fresh bales of timothy from a local farm.  My chinnies always get very excited when we bring in a new bale.  They really go nuts for the stuff!

I think they're having more fun with this stuff.  some if it is really long, but they don't seem to mind.  Yesterday I caught M'noke on her wheel with a piece of hay in her hand!  I tried to tell her about stomach cramps, but she just kept eating it.  I guess it's a big hit!
