My boys are VERY picky over their timothy hay ever since they first tried Alfalfa King - they now basically refuse to eat other brands that are cheaper!

Does anyone have any websites that sell good quality timothy (or similar feeding hays) in large amounts? Buying small packs from shops is so expensive, especially when my boys barely eat it!

Thanks once again fellow pig slaves!
 
The Hay Experts sell large packs of Alfalfa King and also Oxbow Timothy hay.
 
I buy boxes of Oregan grown Timothy (dust extracted) from

www.dustfreehay.co.uk the more boxes you buy the cheaper it gets. I bought 2 boxes for 23 pounds the more you buy the cheaper it gets. Good quality hay. http://www.dustfreehay.co.uk/just-american-timothy/american-timothy-only-packs

Each box is 2.4 KG. I find American grown Timothy is sweeter as their conditions are it's natural state for growing. The boys love it. They turned their noses up at the UK one I tried. It was more dryer, not as chunky and quite dusty.

I tend to use American grown too, mainly Alfalfa King but get Oxbow too and mine live off Oxbow Orchard grass, the quality is really good.

I'll see what the Scottish hay is like - there have been quite a few positive comments from forum members about it.
 
We'll see. If they don't like it, I'll donate it to our local Rescue Centre

Request a free sample bag first from the Scottish Timothy Hay 1st. My 2 girls love it especially the husks. I also think they are eating more of it than wasting it.
 
Do you have to email them to request a sample? I can't see it on their website.

I buy from this guy too as he is only down the road from me, it is always good quality which ever hay you have from him.
 
I just ordered the Timothy and Rye from Hay for Pets, going to give that a go but may ask for a sample from there also!
 
Thanks for the post about timothyhay.com. Have just ordered some to try for my chinchillas! Luckily my piggies eat any hay. I am yet to find a hay that my chins will eat, so I'm going to try this and if necessary a couple of the other recommendations. Thanks folks.
 
I use Hay for Pets - Timothy and Rye
Always get delivered within a week but I have never had an email saying its on backorder - how unusual. Must be in high demand..
I do know however @Julesie purchased some and the order went missing but was sent some hay as soon as that was discovered.
 
As said, mine did go missing and after messaging them the lady phoned me back and within 3 days a new bag had arrived for me.
