I've tried this.... Its lovely hay! :thumb:
Although I've only tried the meadow hay. I end up buying it when I go back to Wales as they sell a large bag for £3 or £2.50 if you buy more than 5 at a time. I tend to mix it with their other hay. It's a Bargain.. Compared to the £5 I pay for something else down here in Berkshire. I must admit it can get a little dusty at the bottom of the bag sometimes, plus it's not always very green but is nice with long stalky strands.
Both my two have really uped their hay intake since being together which is great & I don't get any complaints!

Ings hay is nice in that it has a few wild plants mixed in (not many). It is definitely softer than timothy, but in my view not as soft as meadow.
I haven't tried the timothy from the hay and straw co. (Ings), so neither I nor the rabbits can review that.
However, whilst they had always eaten a lot of the Ings and I was always satisfied both with the quality of the hay and the customer service of the company, the timothy from the timothy hay co is eaten much more readily. The customer service and delivery times are also good. The hay is very green, very stalky and has lots of seed heads.
I have another bag on order, due Monday
ETA I have never tried Nature's Own

Thank you
It does seem like a lovely, family run business. I was searching all kinds of hay and came across it

We recently got a bag of the Timothy & Rye from Hay and Straw and it's not gone down well at all. The strands are nice and long but it's yellow, looks more like straw and it smells of nothing. My buns won't touch it
We are using it as an underlayer for the other hay now. The timothyhay.co.uk hay is lovely though!I've also just recieved a bag of Deans Meadow Hay and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Did you get the timothy hay from co.uk recently Roxy? That's sounding like a good bet.
It's so difficult. The last thing I want is hay that looks like straw. I can get hay from the farm shop, but it's fairly thin strands and can be green/brown. I wanted something like the Alfalfa King hay but without the price tag
Mine like the timothyhay.co.uk hay. I have not bought the Ings for a while as the bunnies prefer the timothy. I have had Deans meadow hay too from The Hay Experts - the last bag was not so good though.
I did have a look at the naturesown website a couple of weeks ago for the piggy pellets for my daughter but was disappointed that there was no list of ingredients anywhere. But the hay does look very tempting though.

The timothyhay.co.uk hay is really nice. Its green and stalky with lots of long strands. The boys have had it from day 1
It was the timothy and rye from hay and pets that didn't go down well. I took a photo of the colour difference, I'll see if I can find it
Yes, the alfalfa king hay is expensive, very nice and green though. The Oxbow Orchard Grass is like that too but again it's quite expensive.

I've been having it for 2 years now and it's been consistently good
The green oat hay is beautiful too
Looking on the website, I don't think they have any green oat hay at the moment?
