Hay buyer beware

[Piggiewheekwheek]

Hi all
Just a quick post...I recently read a few posts on people asking if farm hay is ok to use
I have a horse so I can get hay when it's nice from the yard or buy it from a shop.
I warned people to be careful if buying hay from farms as we have found glass,metal,allsorts in the bales,I understand that can't be helped as these things happen.
But.....I recently bought a bag of hay from home bargains, I never check the hay for anything foreign as maybe I thought it's in a bag it's in a shop it's ok right?
Wrong....now I will have to check my bags of store bought hay as well because I found THIS in the hay my piggies left on the floor.....


Please check your hay.

Good advice.
I do tend to check the hay as I have occasionally found some bramble or sharp chunks of wood in a bag - never anything like that though

I check mine for sharp bits as Peanut's diving into piles of hay method makes him an expert at hay pokes. The worst thing I've found is loops of string!
