Another question, sorry!

I was just thinking the other day that we are going through hay really quickly lately - Noah seems to eat so much (I have to refill hayrack multiple times a day). I buy by the bale and it seems to last 5 weeks atm, between 2 buns and 5 guinea pigs.

Will add another poll!
 
I get the gigantic mahosive bales from the farmer next door. Tbh I have no idea as they end up shareing it with the horses as it's kept in a big secure barn as nowere else to keep it. They get topped up quite a few tines during the day in there racks. Then litter tray and there hutch as a hideaway is full of it.
 
the 21kg bale that i get from pet express lasts about a month.

the larger sized bales that Stes mom sent for me a few times lasted about 6-7 weeks.

i only have two bunnies
 
a farm bale lasts me about ten days between 20 rabbits but just to confuse the issue they also get 'fancy' hay too (herbal hay etc).
 
A bale lasts me around 2 weeks for 12 buns.

I reckon BB eats around a quarter of a bale on her own though - she lives constantly on top of a pile of hay that she concentrates on turning into golden poops:D
 
I'm not sure at the moment as I've only just found somewhere which supplies hay but I'll let you know when it's all gone :wave:
 
A farm bale probably lasts me about 1 1/2 to 2 months. Probably less now that these buns have to have more hay and less veg than G &T did.
 
Can't vote, but didn't want to view and not post. I just have the one bunny, so buy packets of compressed hay. :wave:
 
i get tescos meadow hay, i had been getting the small bags but thought why don't i buy the biggest bag and save £1 a time
 
A bale lasts me 2-3 weeks with 2 rabbits. But I don't just use it for feeding, it's for bedding too, due to Molly's sore hocks, so we go through a slice of hay every 2-3 days.
