| Types of Hay
The pigs all get unlimited timothy hay & a handful of oxbow orchard grass. The girls aren't as big hay eaters as the boys, though.
The local bunny (incl. guinea pigs & chinchillas) rescue opened a little store/adoption center last month. Rumors have it that our local feed store is closing, and the other one we went to doesn't carry Oxbow products, so I thought I'd check this new place out.
I asked about the hay- $11 for 8 lbs, it's delivered weekly from a local grower so it's always fresh, or something like that. The hay did look good (tons better than the cheap hay I've been buying at Target), so I bought a bag of Timothy. While there, they tried to sell me on their own "special blend".
Their website says the hay is:
"A delicious blend of Oat, Wheat and Barley.
Great for everyday hay eating This one is a favorite!"
She gave me a sample bag of it, and the boys enjoyed it but the girls were still eh about it.
Would it maybe be good in addition to Timothy? The lady made it seem like it was good enough without Timothy as an only hay, but ehhh.
Thanks!  |
