Best Hay Cubes
« on: July 05, 2012, 04:15:40 PM »
Hello everyone:

The cubes my breeder gave me are running out, she buys hers in bulk, so I cannot get the ones she gets and it is a hassle to have her send them to me.

What type of hay cubes should I get for my guys.

100% alfalfa, or a mix or what?

Thanks!

What are you using now? If you're using all alfalfa, then it may be a good idea to gradually switch to Timothy hay or cubes. However, 50/50 cubes can also be offered, but Timothy hay is generally offered in the highest quantities. I don't know of any health differences, I just know that the majority of people feed timothy hay.

I would suggest timothy/alfalfa mixed or timothy only cubes. Pure alfalfa can be too rich for them and could cause diarrhea.
