Hay box all the way! Our pigs get so excited when we give them fresh hay with it! We are on our second box I won’t look back!
 
Definitely haybox. Their meadow and Timothy is absolutely fantastic. Even my super fussy rabbit eagerly eats haybox hay!

Alflfa King Timothy, if you don't mind using pets at home. It's expensive but is super compact, lasts ages, if not try b and m or the range, both brilliant for Timothy and meadow
 
I find that Oxbow Timothy hay often arrives at my house all crumbly, but the blend option never does. (Western Timothy + Orchard Grass)
Do you have Chewy in the UK? I tried ordering Oxbow from Amazon one time and was really underwhelmed by how dusty the hay was. When I ordered from Chewy, however, the hay came in long, thick stands and was amazing quality!
There is definitely a difference is handling/care with the package when it comes to Chewy! :)
 
I'm using the Hay Experts' own timothy hay. It's lovely and green, long cut, not brown and rough like some I've tried in the past.
 
We love the Haybox timothy, the piggies also like the Selective one from Amazon but I find I'm a bit allergic to that one myself!
 
Another vote for timothyhay.co.uk. Lovey and green and normally next day delivery if ordered before 11am Monday-thursday.
 
Nibble and Gnaw, their Canadian Timothy hay is the best hay I've ever tried, absolutely no dust, very green and comes in biodegradable packaging, some of my boars can be a bit fussy with their hay but all 4 of my lot absolutely love this hay and eat noticeably more of it than other brands I have tried. Only downside is its quite expensive but the quality is superb.
 
You could try Oxbow Meadow Hay! It's not the same as Timothy. This is the hay my pigs live off of. There's only a small amount of dust when you reach the end of the bag. Not much to consider it a waste. I think it's normal. I would also try Small Pet Select. I think I was a bit allergic to this brand, however my pigs enjoyed it. My hands were always itchy after. You might not be allergic, though.
 
I get my Timothy hay from Tractor Supply Co and it’s only around $20 and lasts for over 6 months!

I get mine from there, too! Except my store doesn't offer hay that lasts for 6 months... I do buy a larger sized bag though that lasts me 2-3 weeks with 3 guinea pigs. I also mix their hay with small bags of oat, grass or botanical hay. :tu:
