Okay I am tryingto curb my hay addiction and to buy in bulk to save money.

I am seriously considering buying a ten pack of the stalky hay.

First I want some reviews from this hay company users.

It seems like excellent value for money. The stalky hay has timothy hay in it.

Please post your experiences / thoughts before I spend £40.

Thanks!
 
I get my hay from Dust free. Ive tried both the fine and the coarse hay. My piggies love both. It does seem to be far superior in quality than regular stores and does what it says on the packet (dust free). I would thoroughly recommend this and buying in bulk certainly saves money in the long term..
 
I can highly recommend the dust free hay company. I've only bought the stalky hay so far and my girls love it - I'm getting my order of soft hay on Monday. My girls also get readi grass and they used to prefer readi grass to hay - but since getting it from the dust free hay company they like it as much if not even more than readi grass.

I have a dust allergy but don't have any problem with their hay - it really is dust free.

Also I'm really impressed with their turn around time. Orders have so far been dispatched really really fast and have always been left in the shed according to my instructions when I'm not in.

i buy the ten bales - 5 soft and 5 stalky. the piggies have the soft for bedding (they eat lots too) and the stalky in the hayracks. they love both.

they always post it out really quickly aswell. :)
 
I was going to start a thread asking about good bulk company's =D think I'll just try theese guys! :))
 
I've bought this a lot over the last couple of years. My piggies hated the soft hay though, and I had to give it away to someone. rolleyes They like the stalky.
 
Okay done it. The amount I have been spending on hay lately this should save me a fortune! Report back once tried and tested :))
 
I have 4 girls and was wondering how long a bale would last them?
 
I guess it really depends on how much you use.
 
Mine has arrived today. Geez it's ALOT of hay :(|):(|)

I have fed them a bit and they are going to it over the other types in the cage at the moment. Kinda wish I had got 5 soft and 5 coarse as I fill up the lietter trays every day. Just didn't think about it at the time.

I think my hubby would freak out if I got any more!
 
I know it's a bit late for this time. I can't help with where you got this lot from as I have never bought from there, but can you not look in the yellow pages for local Animal Feed/Horse Feed places. I buy what they call 'Pet Hay' for £1.30 for a very very big bag, it is top quality, dust extracted and they love it. They sell bales, but I don't have storage available for that, so they use the best hay, and bag it up for pets. It's worth a try, I use loads as you can imagine, and it's bargainous! x
 
DARN! Maybe next time. What's it like? is it stalky or soft?
 
Ooo? It's just like gorgeous meadow hay, soft enough to bed on but crispy enough to nibble on. (How sad am I? ) lol xx
 
I'm EXACTLY the same! I have problems with hay, I got so excited when my delivery came today - sad or what?

Hi, l realise this is an old thread , but i am nearing the end of a pallet of local dust extracted Hay , that cost me a fortune :( and l am exploring alternatives ,

local 2 string is not an option , as dust has becoming to much of a problem over the years .

was wondering if members are still impressed with the Dust Free Hay Company, http://www.dustfreehay.co.uk/index.html

the problem is , they do so many different types , and l do not want to wast £40+ on something that is not suitable for gp's .

i buy my hay from them but i buy the 10 bags of plastic hay and then transfer it to hessian bags so it keeps longer. delivery is usually quick to 24-48 hours usually.

Hi lauralucy, thanks , l didn't notice that one ( £10 off for plastic rolleyes) . are these the 10 bags of plastic hay are talking about £29.99 ?http://www.dustfreehay.co.uk/store/ten-pack-mixed-p-28:61fdc89a7b17e3c674f7f2206be2ec7a.html


what type of hay is it ?/?/?/

as it says Quote
NB. As the name suggests the plastic selections are only available in plastic bags with no option for soft or stalky.
 
I might buy from this website!
I'm spending more in Pets @ Home and thats only a large bale!
I have a thing for Hay, I got one bale last time from another company and it had all flies in it!
This hay doesnt right!?
 
I can't find how much shipping costs on their site? Does anyone know how much it is?

Also which is the best hay to order? I thought Timothy hay is the best? Thanks!
