Does it smell nice? Sweet?
Which farm did you get it fromI was using Bradshaws in Burntwood but they hay the last few times hasnt been very good quality so at the moment im buying bags of hay, 7 a week at £2.50 a bag!!
xXx
I got it from the farm by the fingerpost at pelsall. You can get to it either by the turf pub island or the fingerpost island pelsall.

Ahh yes i know where your on about... Big house farm? Ive had it from her before.
Yep as long as its not mouldy, damp or funny smelling it should be fine
xXxthanks for that i never thought about that
. I did say it was for the rabbit and they didnt say anything about pesticides. I suppose i had better pop back down there tommorrow and ask.Rabbits are fine with horse quality hay, but not cattle quality hay. I can't imagine pesticides would be used on a field that they eventually use for hay, but you never know, so if it puts your mind at rest, then do ask (maybe a phone call would be easier?).
I buy my hay by the bale and it works out far cheaper, plus my buns absolutely love it which is the most important thing.

What's the difference between horse quality and cattle quality? The hay I get from a farm down the road is just advertised as "Hay" so I have no idea what type it is, but the buns love it. So much so that I've dramatically cut back on the excel hay I buy as they don't tend to eat that anymore :shock:

Where do you think pet shop hay comes from in the first place? It's all farm hay, just bagged up and sold at a huge profit in shops. As long as it's fresh smelling and not damp or mouldy i would feel very pleased with yourself that you've found a good cheap source of bunny's best food
There's a place on the A1 near Sandy :wave: Anywhere near you?
