Ahh, guinea pigs - how they enrich our lives and our relationships.

Courtesy of our piggies DH (dear husband) and I had the following conversation last night.

DH: We need to talk. I think you might have a problem.
Me: What problem?
DH: I think you might have a problem with hay.
Me: Oh no, my hay allergies are much better after my desensitization injections. Really they are.
DH: I wasn't talking about allergies. I could barley get the car in the garage tonight we have so much hay in there.
Me: You are totally exaggerating. We don't have that much hay. Just a couple of bags.
DH: One of the kids is now using the hay mountain as a bike stand. I counted at least 10 bags of hay and 7 different types. That just seems a little excessive.
Me: I am sure it's not that much. And I will talk to the kids about using the actual bike stand for their bikes.
DH: I took a photo. This just doesn't seem normal.
Me: Oh look, it's Thursday. Should we have a glass of wine?

If your DH complains about your piddly amount of hay he should see my hay mountain when I have come back from the farm. I get 2 farm bales and pop it in black sacks whilst at the farm to save the mess when I'm at home. I have around 10 huge black sacks and it only just fits in the car. I have the piccie on my phone so I'll post it in a minute I chuck it anywhere there is a space. We can't fit the car in our garage!

Ha ha it's his problem not yours. You have to do this in case there's a hay shortage.
 
I read the title of your post and thought hay mites, allergies, unexpected "gifts" of dead birds/frogs in hay. Then I read your post and had a right good laugh. I see no problem whatsoever in your hay pile. Mine is just as big. And nowhere near as neat and tidy. I admire your Swiss style tidiness. And I bet you are fab at jigsaws too ;)

I was thinking hay in hair, in clothes or worse.
 
I live in a flat, and have twice as much. Now, that is a problem :D

I've had to become very, very creative with storage. Little bags of hay keep appearing in most unexpected places
 
At least it is in a neat pile and in the garage. My stock of hay etc is not very neatly in and around a box in the same room in the house as the piggies. Plus there are bits of hay all over the floor which fall there when I am filling the hayrack or cleaning the cage, and they get spread all round the house. Tidiness is not my strong point. Luckily my husband is similar so he can't complain! :roll:
 
I have outside piggies and the hay still migrates inside and upstairs and I have even found it in the upstairs loo! How? I really don't know. It just gets EVERYWHERE! and I hoover it up every couple of days!
 
Now that's funny...:roll:

Lets face it, we've all been there and frankly with winter here, naturally you have to take in extra stock. I've started stock piling too. I need to get into the garage next weekend and sort out a new area for the other stock pile!
:lol!:
