I bought some of this yesterday. It's that green looking hay.
My boys love their normal hay but I've heard that this stuff is really good for them.
I use normal hay in their litter trays and beds and then fill their racks with Timothy Hay.
They adore it. I've never seen them eat so much hay before. They never empty their racks but they did last night. I filled them at midnight and by 9am they were empty.

Now I'm not just impressed by this. I'm impressed by Pets at Home.
I normally go to The Ark (my local pet store) because I can walk to it. Being unable to drive makes it hard for me to get to many other places.
I managed to get my dad to take me to P@H yesterday.
I grabbed the Timothy Hay, but there were no prices for it. I went to the till, thinking it would be about £20 (I'll tell you why in a sec)
Nope. 1KG cost me around £8.
I was stunned. Happily stunned!
The Ark charge me £5 for a 1/4 of that. Which is why I assumed the big bag would cost me around £20.

I have to say I was very impressed with the price. I know they can be a bit pricey on some things but mostly, I find them to be pretty cheap.
Alot cheaper than The Ark, at least.
And I wasn't afraid to tell the sales assistant that I was impressed and would be sure to return to their store and that in that simple transaction, they had made a customer for life.
I'm pleased to say that he was very happy :))
 
Finding a bargain is great isn't it?! :))

I have to say I've always been really pleased with my local P@H too :) (although have yet to try the Alfalfa King hay ;) )
 
Woo! :))
Pets at homes good for a bargain.
Whenever I get there I buy these "Nettle Sticks". They're like edible paper and timothy hay and nettle-y bits inside. Cindy loves them. It's funny to watch her eat them aswell :))
 
My pigs loved the Alfalfa King stuff and it smelled wonderful ... but last time I went they didn't have any. There wasn't even a place where it would normally be, so I had to get some Excel instead. They don't like it anywhere near as much, it's got a "soggy" feel about it.
 
This hay is wonderful. if I wasn't bulk buying Oxbow I would bulk buy this (can you? Does anyone know?)
 
i've just ordered some bedrooms for my boys from p@h spoke to the manager when i went in & he's orderedthem for me doesnt know the price but said he get the price down if a bit high & if there taking a long time to come i can have them from their display! didnt say i didnt mind the price as hey there for my boys & need to keep them happy ;)

if this is the yellow plastic house bit out of a nero 4 they are about £9@ p@h I imagine the ones for ferplast will be a simular price!
 
I also bought some of that hay from my p@h a few months ago and the boys LOVED it!
I too was pleased with the price as £7.99 is pretty good as online its about the same price but you have to pay postage on other website, where as if you walk to your p@h postage is free. :))

I too like this hay and may get more soon as when i went back for more it was all gone :( but i did ask if it was coming back in stock and they lady was very helpful and said yes, i do hope so. :)
