As the title says really, I know nothing about hay and just wondered how to tell if the quality you're getting is good or not.
I get the bunnies baled hay for their litter tray and 'posh' hay for in the hutch and run. They don't usually bother much with the baled hay tbh but this time I had to get it from somewhere else and they're eating it for fun! I've never seen Dizzi eat this much hay before!! If it were inferior would they just ignore it or are they likely to just eat anything as long as its hay??
It seems to have lots of different types of grasses in there and also lots of seedy things etc.
I'm hoping that its not just because its different that they're tucking into it so enthusiastically and that they really do love it, it could save me a fortune in 'posh' hay (obviously I'd still buy it for them but wouldn't have to buy the quantities I get now if they're getting all the goodness they need from the bail).
Also, their poops have been a lot bigger the last couple of days (since the new bale arrived).
So any top tips for sussing out the quality??
