Re: How long does hay last?

3.5 months ago, when Frisky was 2.5 months old, I bought:

1 x 10 lbs. Alfalfa Complete Pellets
1 x 05 lbs alfalfa hay ()
1 x 09 lbs. "Early" 2nd cut Timothy hay ()
1 x 09 lbs Bluegrass hay ()

He's 6 months now (and so is Parcheesi, whom we just adopted) so we are done using the alfalfa hay, and we didn't use half of it.

The bag of pellets is almost gone. Because he was a baby, we were offering unlimited pellets.

Frisky loves the bluegrass best, and we give him as much as he will eat, but we still have "most" of the grass hay left as well.

(We did have a little petstore hay that I was mixing in there as well, another pound or so).

I would estimate that in 3.5 mos, our one young pig used about a total of 6-7 lbs of hay, and about 8 lbs of pellets
