Hay Bales!!

Hi everyone - could anyone recommend or advise me of somewhere (local farm etc) where i can get Hay bales from . . . im fed up of buying them little bags of hay and them lasting a few days! With 2 rabbits and Guinea's im pretty desperate to buy in bulk!! Thanks, Jo. Oh, im in the Sheffield, South Yorkshire area xx

I suggest you find out where your local equine stockist is. I buy my buns' hay from mine and it costs me £6 for a big bale which is 3' x 2'. It is much better quality than anything you can get at the pet shops and so much better for the buns.

The equine stockists are a good bet, you could ring an equestrian centre and ask them where they get theirs. Alternatively, just ring around the farms, and ask if they will sell you one or two on a fairly regular basis.

Which side of sheffield are you in? There is Argo feeds in Penistone that I'm sure sell hay and straw bales and this side there's Stablemate Equestrian in Totley which I'm sure also sells them but poss only in large quantities.
