Above is a photo of the beetle. I tried tasters of different hays as my bunnies have become fussy with the shop bought hay. They absolutley love the soft cut I found from the Hay Box. I bought them a mixed blend 5kg and they weren't too bothered so I gave in and bought them a 5kg of just the soft cut and they love it so much that they aren't as bothered about their handful of nuggets they get each day as they are eating so much.
Yesterday I found a beetle on the box of the soft cut, I then noticed a second one. I checked the other box and found 1 on there. I searched through the hay and didn't see anything so thought maybe they came to the hay not from it. But I found another this morning on the box. The hay is indoors in the same place I have always kept my shop bought hay and I've never found any beetles/bugs.
Does anyone know what they beetle is, if I should throw away the hay or let them keep eating it. I don't mind buying more but think I could still have the same problem as it appears they are in both boxes. I've never seen any of my bunnies eating so much hay and so excited to eat it so I am gutted if I can't let them have it and have to go back to shop bought stuff!
