How long hay should last?

[Homer]

Where do you guys get bales of hay from? How much is a bale?

Ours is an indoor bun and we don't have a huge amount of room, we feed him P@H Tim hay. A 1KG packet will last about a week, he'll chomp through a hopper worth a day

We get ours from a local horse feed store. Do you know of any stables nearby? Maybe you could go in and ask them where they get their supplies. The only thing with a bale is storing it. We got one of those big plastic boxes for ours.

I get mine from a horse supply shop for bedding which sells hay a bale for £4 or £1 per bag which is still much cheaper than the pet shop stuff. I also use the dust free hay which is £27 per bale for the bunnies to eat as they love it.

If you start a thread for suppliers of decent hay in your area, you may find somewhere local to you :wave:

when you compare the price of a bale of healthy hay to the price of a box of unhealth bunny treats this puts it into perspective. my outdoor buns have accses to a bale each that they can play on and tunnel into (they never use this hay as a toilet) then they have hay in their toilet corners that are banana boxes.
its different for indoor buns though, but as it happens my indoor buns have no inscisors so they cant eat hay anyway.
