Favourite hay? U/D Do you think this would be any good?

As mentioned before, thumper doesnt eat hay. I've tried loads before, but maybe I'm missing something.

She's only eating pellets now if they are soaked and mashed down. This it giving me cause for concern because she is only eating soft food, which is likely to lead to teeth troubles

She's not a dental bun but its concerning all the same.

Is there a hay out there they pretty much every bun loves?

There's no guarantee that she'll eat it, but I'm desperate and if it's a hit with most buns, I want to give it a go.

Is there anything you can think of? What's ur buns favourite?

She does love plantain and fresh grass, if that helps any

Ps, I do not care how much I have to pay for it!

Edit: Can I ask, please bear in mind that she's pushing 11 so I don't think we can go for any really 'weird' stuff that might upset her delicate tum

i would go on hay expert and dust free hay,they both do a sample pack of there hay,that might be worth a try? mine love just about any hay,i think at the moment.they love the hay with danderlion in

I've got some Oat hay, which Florence was loving but since her spay she ignores it for the cheap stuff I'm happy to post you some of it if you like to try her on that before you commit to a whole bag

I think it's this one

the only hay daisy will eat is Oxbow Organic Meadow Hay. Nothing else will do.

Its also available from The Hay Experts. x

Luckily Buttons goes mad for Trago Mills Devon Medow Hay!! and it's only about £2.50 for a bloody huge bag!! I can also post you a sample of my stuff if you want to try her with it, and i can get you a bag and post it you if she likes it?! It's cheep but really good quality and smells edible even to me!!

All our's love Western Timothy Hay which we get from the Hay Experts. All 22 of them.

Oat Hay is a good one. And Orchard Grass, which Joey just loves!

mine like oat hay as well.

Sorry its no use whatsoever but my 2 will eat any hay thats in their hutch

Hope you find something that Thumper will enjoy

Mine is fresh stuff I go and collect from someone, smells yummy, bunnies obviously think it is too.

Oh how I wish I had a bun that would eat any hay!

Oat hay.... This is probably a stupid question but:

I bought oats to feed thumper but the vet said no, she's too old to risk a blockage that oats can cause (I understand that). Is there a risk of blockage with oat hay too??

Thanks for your feedback guys

I have no idea! It doesn't look or smell like oats, it's bright green and has thickish stems to it.

Why are bunnies so complicated!!

No. Oat hay doesn't carry the same risk. I also asked my vet about oat hay being good/bad as a regular food as oats were too high in ?phosphorus/ ?calcium (or some such reason they were bad to feed regularly) but oat hay is okay for feed frequently.

All of my bunnies love orchard grass too. Esme runs round thumping with excitement when she sees the hay bag

That was exactly what I was needing to hear Thank you

I'm sooooo stupid, why did I not think of eBay before!

Do you think this would be any good? Be honest, don't want to be feeding her anything questionable....

Thank you

(I feel like a broken record)

It will be fine but it is cheaper from the hay experts.

Hahahahaha! You are not a broken record at all

I'm just a bit funny with online stuff, I try to have as few accounts as possible. (Trust issues much? ) Even the eBay account is my OH's

Thank you for the reassurance about the product

The Hay Experts are reliable, I ordered from them a few weeks ago

And they don't pass info on to 3rd parties apart from the courier.

How do they deliver?

Couriers can never find my work so I always need to collect from their bases I only buy stuff from eBay that's being delivered by royal mail

Posts crossed Cheryl

Right, I'll cut a deal I'll buy from eBay this one time and if she likes it, all future purchases will be made from the hay experts

That way I'll know the risk is worth it!!

If she likes it the Hay experts do an alfalfa king (i think) version in a big bag that works out quite economical.

Interlink delivered my stuff.

And you don't have to be in. You can ask them to leave it somewhere and they do pass on the message.

Unlike Zooplus who ask if you want it left somewhere and the courier (parcel force) ignored that, and a note on the door so I had to collect it from the other side of town
