Ordering hay from the internet- how long does it last...

I've just been paid so thought I'd order my fosters some tasty hay and was just wondering how long 1kg lasts yours?

I can't really picture how big a bag that is :oops:

thanks x
 
Depends on how much of it you feed! Mine get a good handful of tasty expensive hays every day as well as unlimited meadow hay. It's hard to say how long it will last as I have about half a dozen different ones and grab a bit of each. Maybe a few weeks if you're giving a handful a day? A kilo is about the size of an average pet shop bag of hay but it's much more tightly packed.
 
A kilo bag of Oxbow lasts me 10 days to 2 weeks, just for Evo. This is in addition to meadow hay as bedding. In Evo's case though, hay is pretty much his main food, as he can't eat veg.

Here is a pic of Evo next to a 1.1kg bag of Oxbow, and a just under 1kg bag from the Hay Experts to give you an idea of size. You can click on the pics to view a bigger version.
