In my treck to save money I ditched buying the 96oz bag of Kaytee brand Timothey Hay at 15-20 dollars a bag and bought an 80lbs bail from a feed store for 24 bucks. He He He He I live in AZ so it's deffinately going to stay dry and it's in my garage not outside. The wife thought I was nuts but she'll appreiciate the savings in the long run.

How's the quality of the hay you bought from the feed store? I'm having a hard time finding really good quality in the east valley right now (I've got about 10 lbs left, so about 2-3 weeks to find good hay).

It's a nice dry green and has a nice strong smell to it. I picked it up at the "Stock Shop" at 67th and Thunderbird.

Thanks. That's quite a ways out there, but if it's better than what I'm finding out here, worth it so long as I go visit my cousin or something. I'll have to give them a call and stuff.

I too, live in Az. I am down south, Tucson way. I too buy my hay by the bale from a local feed store. I have 6 piggies and 2 rabbits. They all eat timothy hay.
I store the hay in my shower stall in my extra bathroom. It stays dry and away from my other animals. It lasts so much longer and is so much better than bagged hay. You can usually get a mixture of alfalfa/bermuda, bermuda hay also. My crew likes the timothy hay the best.
