Hay box deliveries

Opened one of the meadow hay boxes this morning - you would think they’d been deprived for weeks instead of 2 days!
They like the first cut but meadow hay is definitely the favourite.
I prefer it too because it’s softer and as Micah has a congenital abnormality in his eyes haypoke can be more difficult to deal with. The softer hay reduces the risk I hope, although he does love to hay dive!
 
Was yours very short as well? I got mine today and it smells nice and piggies are eating it, but the stems are tiny! No dmhay diving in this batch!
 
I had a very soft batch, short stalks. And now really long, harder stalks (looks like grass). I’m just hoping the piggies like both! So far so good 🤞🏻
 
It's great for eating, seems like everyone ate quite a bit overnight, on top of Timothy. But I am dissaponted to see no one slept in the hay trays. It's too short to dig through and just gets flattened. Will keep it as feeding hay and get some bedding meadow from country store for hay trays to sleep in.
 
Yeah I bought both meadow and Timothy. I usually only get Timothy but based on how much it seems to be loved here I thought we would try it. I’m not overly impressed with the meadow. It’s far too short and they are leaving most of it and because it’s so short it is leavening loads of tiny bits and dust behind.
I’ll mix it with my big farm balefor a bit of variety.
The Timothy however is great and they are all demolishing it!
 
I have the 50/50 Haybox delivered every 3 weeks. The last delivery wasn't on time, but sadly the virus and weather always play a part. My piggies have 'fads' one day they will go straight for the meadow hay and another day it will be the timothy hay, but I always put both in their homes so they have the choice. I am on leave this week and, as we have to stay home, have sooo enjoyed sitting and watching their personalities shining through. Trouble is, I don't want to go back to work now! lol

There's another thread about Haybox delivery, so get confused where I am posting! I had my delivery today, after 8 days. It's actually DPD who has 1 day delay in my area due to snow.

sorry that’s my fault, I was originally enquiring about how much people order at a time :) x
 
I just opened the 1st box of my Haybox order that was delayed and arrived last week. It's sooo green! Mind you the batch before was green too, but not as much as this batch. I don't think it is cut too short though. The ones I used to buy from P@H were cut way too short, and my piggies hated it.

I tried first cut this time as well as my usual order of meadow hay.
It’s proving to be very popular

I might have to make it a permanent part of my order.

Is it very stalky? Did you try the blend before? I get a lot of wastage with the blend as they leave the stems, only eat the seed heads and leaves.

I’m still on the first box and have only had one clean out since so I’m not sure how mu wastage I’ll have.
They get a handful of the first cut every other day along with the meadow hay.
The seed heads certainly are popular but Priscilla happily sits and munches her way through the entire stalk.

Just an update about Haybox deliveries. I think they are back on track. My subscription order was processed yesterday and DPD just delivered it today. 👍👍

Yes they are.
My order went through Sunday, so of course wouldn’t have been processed then. My order has been dispatched today and is arriving tomorrow.
 
Same here. Ordered Monday and delivery due tomorrow. Let's hope the Timothy hay is still good quality!
It's actually zooplus who's struggling atm, took a week to deliver.
 
They are definitely back on track. I’m getting my orders within a couple of days of placing the orders 👍🏻
 
I've ordered some plantain and dandelion roots for forage. Would you skip pellets the day they get the dandelion roots? Think they're higher on calcium. Their green oats arrived today, so they'll have feast with all the forage and fresh Timothy hay tomorrow 😍
 
My order is back on track.
I ordered some of the first cut as well as the meadow hay.
Brain totally failed with joined up thinking so 20kg of hay arrived on Monday!
1 in the piggy room where the open one is too.
1 in the hall and 2 in the downstairs loo!

My DPD delivery driver very sweetly said he’s disappointed that he will have a longer gap between visits.
 
Yes I forgot to.update here but last week's order was right on schedule, ordered Monday delivered Wednesday... which was only 10 days after receiving the previous 20kg so we too are a bit overcome with a plethora of bounteous hay! Its all in my office (which is really the piggy's storeroom with a desk squeezed in) I just keep angling my webcam more and more to cut out the cardboard box mountain :)
 
I'm pleased to hear they are back to normal. We've ended up with so much hay I've paused the subscription until we've used at least one box. I got complaints from someone saying he couldn't move in his shed! I was thinking of changing supplier but I think we will give it another chance and see what the quality is like.
 
Think there might be a bit of a delay.

Very sad news 😔

How sad.
Is that on their website page?
I just wonder if there’s a way customers can send condolences
