Hay Recommendations?

[Poppy Davis]

I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for good quality hay that is quite cheap and comes in large bags. I have 4 male piggies and they get through about 2 medium bags of hay every 3-4 weeks and it gets quite expensive. They pee and poo on most of it and then wont eat it. It is in a hay rack but they pull it all out, even though i have tried putting it higher they still do. Thanks Poppy

Do you live in the UK Poppy? How about seeing if any local farms sell hay ?

if you can get decent farm hay then that would be the very cheapest way.

Burgess Excel is the best one I find, dust is extracted too. There is a dandelion and marigold hay series they do and my piggies love it. Normal Burgess Excel Timothy hay is £5 and the dandelion one is £6 (usual prices at Pets at Home)

I get mine from: Pet food suppliers | Pet food online | Pet food wholesalers | GJW Titmuss

Not sure it is advertised on their site but phone them and see if they can deliver a 20 kilo bag. Their stuff is green and fresh, but you do have to watch out for the occasional thistle. I am only half way down a bag in 3 months with 4 piggies
