Found in hay

[Jill B]

I just walked into the room where Pink and Pumpkin live and saw this on top of their hay tray!

The twine is about 4cm long. I can only assume that it was in the pile of meadow hay (Hay Box) that I put in the hay tray a few hours ago. I hope that the girlies had the good sense to leave it well alone!

It does leave pretty colourful poos.

I once lost a knife I'd been cutting veggies with and found it later in the piggy enclosure. It must have fallen into the hay bin and then gotten served to them. Thankfully nobody tried to play with it!

It was a while back, but there's still a running joke around here that if I don't serve the food fast enough, I'm going to get shanked by a knife-weilding guinea pig.

I’ve found baler band before in the hay, luckily it’s usually pink or red so easy to spot, I tend to have a good rake through it now

I'll certainly check carefully in future.

I found a dead mouse in a bag of hay from local garden centre. When I took it back, the woman on the till just said go and get another bag. No sorry we sold you a dead mouse! Or poor mouse.

I had almost the exact same in my last box of HayBox hay. Still doesn't come close to some of the other things people have found in bags of hay, though. Dead mice are not unheard of, and I once had a dessicated frog. Mouse in bag of Timothy Hay

Oh dear, a few poor animals found in the hay!
Seems to just be me who took it back to the shop for a refund, Scottish thrift alive and well

I would but it's more hassle than it's worth for an online purchase.

Oh yes that makes sense! I wouldn't have sent a hay bag back.

Write them a letter to where you got your hay

 

[Jill B]

You're right. I probably should just so they're aware for the future.

 

[jayne]

Your get a free voucher or another bag of hay for free because you wasn't happy I'm always writing !

I once found a whole wild rabbit that had obviously been caught up in the harvester and got minced up. There were pieces of it everywhere including a head. Poor thing!
