So you’re having one 2.5kg box every two weeks - I know that would not be enough for my two piggies just for eating, we’d run out before the next delivery arrived.
I have 15-20kg (3 or 4 x 5kg boxes) every three weeks but I have five animals to feed and bed!
I was thinking that as well - I know you can edit your order but I’m just so stuck on how much we need! I got way too much last time. Think I’m going to have a look at what’s available again and edit the plan. As soon as I did it I was sat there thinking it’s going to be gone so fast!
What amount did you order last time?
How long did the 5kg last you?
my goldfish memory is failing me, I’d say it lasted around 2 weeks but they use more hay now honestly, they’re not happy unless they have Mount Everest in hay. I think the 2.5kg a week is perfect thinking about it now, if we run out there’s always spare and if there’s some left over then great
I'm just wondering if my memory serves me, buying a 5kg every two weeks would be cheaper than buying a 2.5kg every week, i know you’ve said storage is your issue though - could you keep hold of two empty 2.5kg boxes. Switch to ordering 5kg every two weeks to make it cheaper (if it is indeed cheaper - I might be misremembering) and then just decant the hay into the two 2.5kg boxes for easier storage In the room?
(I’ve had a rotten day so I may not be working things out properly!)
I have a 5kg subscription every 3 weeks. I buy two 2.5kg boxes coz the 5kg box won't fit in the cupboard where I keep it. A 2.5kg box lasts between 12-14 days for my 3 piggies. My subscription used to be every 4 weeks but I changed it to 3 weeks just before Christmas thinking it'll get delays, which it did (and still does). My subscription has been processed Friday last week and up to now it still hasn't been sent. I sent them a message for update on Wednesday and been told it'll be sent on Thursday. It's now Friday and I still don't have any notification from them being sent.
Good thing I'm still only halfway with one 2.5kg box and one unopened 2.5kg box that was delivered just before Christmas. I made sure I have one box spare so the piggies won't run out of it. I do also have the Oxbow Timothy and Orchard hay bags but my piggies use the meadow hay for grazing on the floor.really hope you get something soon the snow can’t be helping either x

Same here, my subscription was processed on Saturday but not heard anything since, despite getting in touch with them. I had problems with part of my order missing before Christmas too. This time I've had to order more hay to see me through from Hay and Straw, and it arrived less than 48 hours after ordering but hopefully my haybox turns up soon!I have a 5kg subscription every 3 weeks.

I store the box in my piggie shed (which is closed for the season as it's too cold and don't fancy doing all the heater setting, snugglesafe heating chores this year...) along with bale of meadow hay from country store.
I get the 5kg meadow hay blend box as still get good deal and free delivery, but isn't too big to store. Mine only have that as feeding hay and it lasts 3-4wks with 4 piggies. They have meadow hay as bedding in litter trays etc.
With deliveries. My last order took 4 days from day of purchase to delivery. I am not subscribed, just order when I need.
