We go to two different places for our bales of hay, one charges £4.50p and the other £6.50p.

oh i so want your green grocer *jealous*
You should have seen the celery! :lol:
I found it by chance, my mum told me that she'd buy some veggies for them on the way past it one day so we went in, and I asked him for a cabbage. He asked if I had any preference for size and I said "oh, well, it's for my bunnies" and he said "oh, here you go then!" and grabbed a whopper off the shelf in the back for me instead of the smaller ones on display in the front of the shop. :lol:
He is fabulous, though. Lovely fresh veggies, and oodles of them for the money.

:lol: You will have to give me the address when I come to get the cage - sounds like it'd be worth my while to go there for the hay, the amount Faith eats!

and my lot go mad for it I am going through so much lately I pay £20 a week for bale of haylage, £3 for a bale of hay & £1 for a bale of straw & it is all good stuff. The farmer said he will be putting his prices up next winter, as everyone keeps telling him he is cheap :shock:
The bale of haylage are great & the horses eat it non stop & it does 4 horses for a week, so I can't moan & he asn't said it is going up just yet.

The farmer I got my hay from before sold most of his abroad, because theres such a shortage this year, but the farmer I get my hay from now has no problem. It really depends on where you get it and what their own demand is. :wave:

Over here, due to dry weather and lack of rain, my Aug. supplier of hay sold their hay very fast, and I can't get any.
But same price as last year, $8 / bale (60 to 65 pounds)
So I went to another place and bought 2 bale for $6 ea., they are good quality hay, but some of the stem is not very long, so I have to throw again some hay, but I have more than enough.
But £20 to £30 per bale seems high, although I don't think you girls can buy hay over here due to shipping cost.
So the global bad weather is due to global warming, and what the farmer said is quite true, but the price still seems too high.

Where do you store a bale of hay and straw and how?
just picked up 2 hay bales yesterday-£4.50 each. smells fab and the buns love it. this will last around 2 months for the 7 buns. its used for their bedding, lining the hutch and in their runs they have hay boxes too!
it is stored in one of these large garden containers, along with all the other bunny stuff, newspaper, cardboard, cleaning materials, cloths etc.

We dont but bales of hay anymore as we are sure the hay was to blame for our myxi outbreak.2 other families had the myxi problem within a few weeks of having the same hay.

We get through 3 standard bales a week at £4 each plus a small delivery fee. I store them in the shed in duvet covers to prevent mess round the garden and to let them breathe.

My brown wheelie bin in my case. It's perfect. I just have to sneak out on bin night and empty my recycling in someone else's bin.

hahaha brilliant. Im waiting for the guts to "borrow" one of the two communal bins that no one has claimed in months :roll: We did have two when we first moved in :roll: and I have tried to order a new green one, but they have run out.

OH keeps saying he is sick of the hay everywhere in the house house, as it trails back inside (I am not the tidiest of people) this way it would be stored outside. Do you think it could breathe in there?

I have my 2 bale sitting in the dinning room clothing door. I open it once a day to grab new hay.
