I've yet to find good quality grass hay/meadow hay in my area, sure it's there, but it closely resembles straw in both colour and texture, and no way in heck am I giving that to my babies.

I free feed them Lucerne Hay, it's green, a little stemmy I will admit but with the drought I'll take what I can get, and smells wonderful. With my local feed store, they let you pick the bales you want, so I spent a good 25 minutes clambering over bales to get the best I could.

You can get a good bale (30kg's or there abouts) for between $18-$25 (and if they charge over that tell them to jump).
