A (non)scientific trial has been carried out by a team of researchers in the UK.
It aimed to identify which Hay for Pets hay was preferred through a randomised and blind taste trial.
Participants were self-selecting, and equally distributed with males and females, lops and uppy-eareds. The 6 buns came from a range of backgrounds and breeds.
Each participant was presented with three small piles: a) Meadow, b) Timothy & Rye and c) INGS.
To reduce bias, participants were not informed of which pile was which, and each was placed equi-distant from each bunny.
The researchers used quantitative methods to assess the findings.
The results clearly show the INGS was significantly preferred by 5 bunnies, with one bunny trying to simultaneously munch all three hays at once, although all hays were devoured within 15 minutes of serving.
The conclusion of this trial is that INGS hay is clearly the preferred hay, however any of the other hays or a combination, would be more than acceptable.
To provide participants with anonymity, no photos were taken.
ETA: further trials may be necessary
