Was about to order a new 10 kg bag from timothyhay.co.uk only to see that the quality is less due to the better stuff running out!
I prefer to pay more for quality so I was wondering if anyone orders from hayandstraw.co.uk and what kind of hay their buns prefer from there?
How do you know the quality has gone down before you ordered?
There is a note to explain on their website.
I'm wondering what to do as I need to order some more soon. My rabbits have been enjoying the "good quality" timothy and rye from the timothyhay.co.uk. Since changing to this though, my ezcema has flared up really badly and I'm wondering if the hay is the cause. I remember others saying that this hay has caused allergic reactions. So will the 2nd grade cause just as bad a reaction and how much more inferior is it?
You'd think it would be an easy decision about what hay to buy!
Oh thank you Omi. Just been back to their website and seen that. It wasn't there when I ordered, and I paid a bit more for mine, so hopefully it's the good stuff (same as you sent me, Roxy)
Difficult to know what to do ..... :?
I bit the bullet and ordered from them anyway, Binky will know if I've got different hay so I'm hoping the difference is barely noticeable! Fingers crossed it's still good stuff like yours was Roxy
I'll be ordering some more this week so we will see! Fingers crossed it will still be nice
Could you ask them to send you a sample first? I know that means waiting, but at least you can assure yourself of what it's like.
I actually decided to give timothyhay.co.uk a whirl and ordered some earlier this week. I must have got the last of the "good" batch as it was full price. Anyhoo, it arrived today and the buns really love it! :thumb:

Yes I think I was on the tail end of the good stuff too. Very lucky, as I had no idea that their other stuff was different.
I have never seen hay that is less dusty than this - it's just brilliant
I postponed ordering and as soon as I went to order I saw the sign telling me the better stuff had gone! Felt like a plum :lol:
I think you've said before that your OH has had allergy-type problems with this hay. If so, have you found that individual batches vary? I'm really suffering quite a lot with ezcema at the moment and the change in hay is the only thing I can identify that's different in my environment. I'm loathe to stop buying this hay as the rabbits really love it, but equally I don't understand why or if this is really the cause of my current problems.
