Re: How much hay?

24 oz every 5 weeks for one pig seems like such a tiny amount. I go through three biscuits of oaten hay in 2 weeks, plus a 15oz bag of Oxbows Timothy Hay (provided in limited quantities - so a handful every other day), granted I have 4 girls. The problem I am having at the moment is that the hay down the bottom of the hay rack goes brown before it has been eaten and so I have to change everything, wasting alot of hay in the process. Any ideas why it goes brown and how to prevent it? I am thinking that they either urinate on it or the hay down the bottom isnt getting enough air.
