stalky dust free hay?...

had a delivery of two sacks of stalky hay from dust free hay today its the first time i have ordered this type last time i had the timothy which of course when down a treat. Not so sure about this batch though it doesn't seem to have much smell is is yellow and straw like is this normal for the stalky they sell? Gizmo has eaten a few strands but over all doesn't seen that interested, could you please tell me how you have found the appearance of the stalky hay and if your buns have tucked into it?thanks

Mine have loved the stalky hay when I have got it, it isn't as green as the soft bun mine really like it

To me, the stalky stuff looks really unappetizing and the soft looks and smells much better, but the bunnies really love the stalky and tuck into it much more.
I do get both to give them some variety though.

My two love the stalky hay....and so did my Kermit before.

I do agree the soft looks better but they eat the stalky more. They are tucking into a big batch now.

I haven't had the soft to compare it to, but the stalky is quite pale and very thick strands. My two loved it though.

Totally agree with all of the above. The stalky looks really dry, yellow and unappetising to me but the buns love it. They much prefer it to the soft stuff which looks much more nom-able to me . However, the latest batch of stalky is not such good quality as last year's stuff. Norman said it came from a different field.

thanks for the replies and have to agree with all of the above he has been tucking in now thank goodness have two sacks full!:lol:
