It was this stuff. I got a free small one from PAH the other day (my local one was giving out loads of freebies) http://www.petsathome.com/webapp/wc...pets-at-home?gclid=CPKNs5ad-b4CFabItAodvyYAxw

Essentially hay is hay, but some varieties like timothy are more expensive to grow, and hence you'd only want to use them for feeding rather than bedding - plus they tend to be stalkier so nicer for chewing and a good source of fibre than they are for sitting on. Some hay listed as bedding hay has been chopped up into small, even sized strands, so it is more convenient and comfortable for use as bedding, but there's no reason why bunnies couldn't eat it.
:thumb: :lol: mine have baled farm hay, for both, I'm lucky as they like it and it is really good quality stuff

mine don't like that stuff at all! they would prefer the cheaper 'bedding' hay over that one. They have timothy and rye from hay for pets and they seem to really like that, it took them a while to really like it though

Yeah we've been investigating where to get hay from but I was just curious as to why there would be two types of hay if it doesn't really make a difference

the cheaper bedding hays are finely chopped into tiny weeny pieces and the other hay is long and stringy, we dont use the bedding hay for the fluffier rabbits its a nightmare to brush out :lol::lol:
