Re: How do I dry my own timothy hay??

You can give the piggies the fresh timmy in addition to their hay. They need the hay for the extra fiber content and it's chewier to wear down their teeth. Usually to dry grass you just cut it and leave it on the ground for a couple days or so, (depends on weather, humidity, etc.) until it's dry, then just store it in a cardboard box or something. Before you cut it and lay it to dry though, make sure the forecast doesn't call for any rain for 2-3 days and turn the hay over about 1/2 way through the drying process. Properly stored hay can stay good for many months. I used to work in hay fields.
