Timothy Vs Ings

[GloriousGuineaGirl]

Since buying a pack of meadow hay to line their litter boxes my boys seem to have taken to this type of hay more. They still scoff the Timothy but only after the meadow hay has gone. Seems silly to keep buying 2 esp as Timothy can get exspensive so I want to try "Ings" from Hay for pets. Please can some of you who use this let me know their experiences. Thanks

I tried it recently and it is not bad but I am used to Oxbow and so are the pigs. It smells fresh though and the pigs do eat it once they have finished their Orchard grass.

I buy ings hay. My piggies and bunny love it. I like the quality and it has nice thick pieces for them to graw.

Didn't like Ings - it had lots of hard twigs in it that I had to pick out because of risk of hay poke!

I wonder if we both had bad bags, I ended up throwing the timothy that I also ordered out as it smelt really musty but I have heard good things about the Ings in general.

Helen, where do you get the orchard grass from? I trying to find a nice hay, I have found oxbow from my vets but it £15 for a 1.5 kg bag and I don't like the stuff from p@h.
