They're eating it now, but it seems they don't eat as much of it as they did with the Kaytee hay (from Walmart and pet stores).

I was pretty worried that maybe this hay is bad for them or something, but I don't think that's the case. Maybe they were just so used to eating the Kaytee hay that fresh hay was weird...
Mine do seem to like the Meadow Hay (more like grass) I got from Sweet Meadow better, but they go through some tim hay I got from them too!! Seems it's all gone except a thin layer in the large litter pan I fill up in the evening when I get home and I just filled it that morning, I've put another grid hay rack binder clipped over that too to add to the quantity of hay they have. I fill it twice a day and they are really eating it up!!
