Is This Suitable To Store Hay?

[Nicola_]

I found this and thought it was such a good deal I'm going to get one for the rubbish in my room but was wondering if it might be worth buying another to store the hay in? Currently I buy the hay for pets hay and keep it in the bag it comes in next to the cage.

Edit: forgot to add the link!

something breathable would be better. either cardboard or even those laundry wicker baskets. it can sweat in anything plastic so i wouldn't use those, but i know lots of people who do use plastic storage and say it works fine. i use cardboard and wicker baskets personally though

I have a plastic laundry basket made by curver with bigish holes, into that I have put a single duvet so that hay doesn't come out the holes but is still breathable. i'll see if I can fit the basket for you on internet

Thanks guys, would you say I should stop storing in the bag it comes in then? I can't say I've had any issues with it so far, but maybe would do in the summer when the temperature rises.

I store hay in plastic boxes :-)

I think it is personal choice I get my bedding hay in bales so I need to put it in something. The timothy I buy from wilkos and leave that in the bags as it doesnt last more than a week.
