I buy Oxbow but at my local feed store (Blue Seal), not online. This is a link to a poll asking where you buy hay. http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...hlight=poll%3A

I buy my hay from Oxbow online now. It has always arrived quickly, been great quality and I remain pleased.

Oh thank you! That saves a lot of time, doesn't it! I currently buy from a feed store (that sells oxbow in small bags which my pigs LOVE!). They also offer a larger bag of hay that is special ordered for horse owners that they told me was a soft timothy. Thought of ordering from oxbow but the shipping charge was $20, a lot if I could buy it locally with as good results.

Generally when you buy oxbow locally you pay more than if you spent the shipping. Someone had to pay for the shipping and that someone usually wants to make a profit as well making hay from stores even more expensive than online. If you can find locally cut hay that would be cheaper but I find it hard to believe buying a box or bag of oxbow locally is cheaper. I order at least one 50lb box online and save tons compared to buying small bags of oxbow locally. It's less than $1/lb when I order a large box online.
