Well for the Bunnies I normally get a large £2 Bale of hay from the farm in the village (just up the road) anyway a whole bale has gone all damp and musty smelling I don't know whether this happened because I stored it in a metal shed on a concrete floor and did not have it propped on anything or it might be because of when the farmer delivered the bale it was raining and it got wet :? ? anyway I have bagged up the hay and we will have to dispose of it :roll:
I really don't know what to do now as I have literally no hay other than a small tesco hay bag which i got yesterday as i thought the buns and the piggies especially (they're hay monsters) would want some fresh hay, the pigs normally have bagged 'natures own' hay from the range as eating hay and a bag lasts them 2 weeks but I could not do it that way for the bunnies as it would cost a lot of money, the farm hay is a better solution.
I have enough money to buy a wooden shed for the piggies new setup which we would have room to store a hay bale, would it still go mouldy in there if it was put in dry , how could I store it correctly? are there any other cheapish alternatives to farm hay?
why is hay so difficult to store this time of year are any of you else having hay problem?
