I am almost out of the old hay. I have Alfalfa. The thing is, he was eating it like crazy the day I got it, but now, he does not care for it as much. I think it is kind of wierd.

I would smell it and make sure it does not have a moldy smell. It would be a smell you wouldn't notice unless you had your nose right next to it. I have had to throw out moldy hay before.
Coco is almost 4.5 years old. It smells great. I can smell it through the bag! Smells better than the Kaytee hay! It is not the greenest, but he has had bags of hey that were not very green either!
