Anyone else having trouble with their hay or is it just me?

This bag of hay is riddled with these jaggy things and the big leaves - I am trying to get them all out as I go along but the first ones I found (before I knew what was lurking in the bag) I had given to the piggys..... somehow they'd removed the offending material from their hay (litter) tray and left it at the side.... I'm sure it was a complaint from them aimed at me ...lol :)) ... and I'm sure they took great delight in seeing it attacking me :))

It certainly doesn't look like meadow hay to me rolleyes

I'm going to order some oxbow to make it up to the piggies.....

Make sure you email them, if enough people do then they might actually look into it. I don't want any other poor piglets going through what Wally Whisker's has been suffering so I will be asking them to do more thorough checks of their suppliers and of the bales when they cut them even though I won't be ordering anymore from them myself.
 
After four attempts of delivery (Yodel) they finally gave up and left it with a neighbour (they kept telling me I needed to sign for it.) I've had a look through my HUGE bag of hay (from hay for pets) and it does seem good - there's no stalky bits in it and it's green and fresh smelling. The piggies like it, they're currently munching on it as I type. I'm glad it arrived (finally) and it is very good value for money, should last a fair while!
 
I go to my local horse feed supplier and get this stuff at £5.20 a bag, it's lovely and soft.

I also found a local farm that supplies me hay by the bale. I found it on the following link. http://www.hay-net.com/feedsale.htm
 
Awwww...clearly endorsed by your piglet. xoxo
 
The bag of Ings has just been delivered from hay for pets so will be going through this with a fine tooth comb before any of the piggies touch it rolleyes
Have a back up of Oxbow Timothy if it's no good and their usual Meadow.
Thanks for alerting us to this problem although it should never have to come to this and your poor boy being injured.
Hugs to Wally and hope he's ok hun xoxo
 
Hum, seems fine and is of a good quality...smells lovely :))
Will try the piggies on it this evening and update if I find anything sinister in there :)
 
I just wanted to let you know I contacted Hay for Pets about the thorny jaggy stuff in my meadow hay.

They were very apologetic and are sending me replacement hay next week. I never asked for anything but did want to let them know in case there were other complaints and also in case they could get rid of the bad patch in the field which my bale came from.

They got back to me within a couple of hours and I must say I am impressed. I will inspect the next bag carefully but hopefully I was just unlucky with the last one. Fingers crossed.

It does just go to show though - if I hadnt mentioned it they couldnt put it right so always worth saying if there's a problem.

I've been in touch with them too about the weed stalks in the meadow hay. Graham got back to me straight away and offered a refund or replacement. I've decided to give them another try, hoping that overall hay is okay ( the first few bags I had were lovely) but this time I'm going back to Ing.
 
I always get H4P Meadow hay for the pigglies, I had a 9.5kg bag delivered Monday and it is lovely quality as usual, no nasties in it.

I just ask them to leave it by the front door if nobody is in and they do - not worried about someone stealing a load of hay :(|)
 
My bag of ings hay didnt come good so they r sending me a replacement bag tmoz , h4p the best customer service i have ever come across. :)
