Anyone using hay for pets uk?
What's your favourite one for your piggies :)
How big are the bags and how long do they last for how many guinea pigs?
Any pictures
Thank you, love Jess xx :D
 
I use them. I buy ings hay which is 9.5 kilos. It lasts about three or four months.

I did this thread last year - photos in it! I have just finished a bag of meadow hay that was lovely and am about to start on a bag of Ings. There is a lot in a bag - can't say how long it lasts as my mother in law tops me up with slices from her horses bales. Won't buy hay from anywhere else now though!
 
I use the ings hay, I find it lasts me 2 months - but then I use quite a bit of it in the hay loft!

I've just bought the sample packs of all 3 hays to see if the piggies might prefer a different hay. I have to say though they are quite small packets the price but it should be enough to give them a taster each. I'll post photo's and verdict once I've managed to get it organised!
 
I use natures own devon meadow hay from the range. £4 for 4kg and my piggies happily eat it.
In comparison hay for pets seems quite pricey!
 
Idk if there is anywhere local that makes hay suitable for pets so I think my only option is hay for pets which is quite pricey but if it means getting good quality fresh stuff then I'm considering it xx
 
It might seem pricey but I'd say it is miles better than any shop bought hay I've ever used. The most recent bag I bought I remembered someone on here had said to let them know it's for guinea pigs - I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but it seems even nicer than the hay they sent before :)

I bought the samples as I wasn't sure so I let my boys choose. They didn't seem to bothered about the Timothy & Rye but went loopy for the Meadow & Ings. I bought their smallest bag which I think is really big - lasts a while for my two. If you have the room, I'd definitely get the bigger bags as they're good value for money. x
 
i use hay for pets. we get the timothy and rye, and the meadow hay. usually go through three of the biggest bags per month for 1 rabbit (used to be 2 :()and 2 piggies. my lot eat mountains and mountains of hay :)) and the pigges have a big cosy hay area which needs changing twice a day :)
 
I use the Ings hay but want to try the meadow hay for next time. This 9.5kg has lasted me months!
 
I've just ordered a big bag of ings hag from hay for pets, can't wait :)
