Oxbow hay cubes vs. Kaytee hay cubes

You may remember that I have some wicked allergies to timothy hay. So I've switched to orchard grass which is a TON better for me. I don't sneeze and can breathe now.

Anyway I did get some kaytee timothy cubes which are large and quite hard. The hay is chopped up very small. The pigs nibble on them a bit but are not crazy about them.

SO I ordered 2.5lbs of the Oxbow timothy hay cubes and they are so different! They are much smaller around, maybe 1"x1" or so. They are not rock hard and the pieces of hay are not teeny tiny, but actually munchable. The pigs went crazy when I opened the bag and they got a whiff. Now they ignore the kaytee ones and chow down the timothy cubes even though they have a rack of orchard grass.

THese will be handy for travel (we're moving in January) and as treats. Anyone else try them?
