Hi,
I have read all the other posts on here about hay but I just wanted to ask your opinion about farm hay.
I have two rabbits at the moment and will be getting 3 guinea pigs in the next few weeks (separate hutches of course). I also have a horse and so used to get my hay from the stables. However, in January, Benjamin (my boy bunny) ended up at the vets as he had a blockage in his gut, sadly I lost him as he had a massive heart attack.
After this, I did a lot of research as read somewhere that hay provided by farms is long and so can contribute to blockages so I instantly stopped using the farm hay and now buy meadow hay from pet shops.
However, this is expensive and will be even more so once I get the guinea pigs and so I would like to go back to using the hay from the stables. I would really appreciate your opinions on this and if there is any particular type of hay I can use.
Thanks!
