New Hay

Had a hay emergency yesterday, ran out and couldn't get ver to the normal place to get some. Our greengrocers have started stocking hay, so I grabbed a bag, and it's bloomin marvellous! It's called 'Mr. Johnson's hay fest' and the hay smells gorgoues, and is in nice thick shiny strands - Stewie is loving it It was £2.99, but is probably cheaper from Jolleys or similar.

Oooh a happy mistake that you ran out of his normal stuff then
Shadow is so picky with his hay, when he went off his last bag of the one he always has I ended up buying a £8.99 bag of hay in the hope of tempting him back into eating, they little monkey turned his nose up at it so now it's being used to line his loo
Can you buy "Mr Johnson's" online do you think? I wouldn't mind spending that to try him on it.
Glad Stewie is enjoying it.

will have to keep an eye out for that one

They have a website, but the hay isn't on it http://www.mypetfoods.co.uk/rabbits.html I'm interested in the pellets as well, as they have Pro-Biotic. The bag isn't huge, so will be smaller than your usual I suspect, but it's still a fair size.

Ooh like the sound of the pro biotic nuggets, after you mentioned it in my post about Shadow not eating, I'll be getting some!

I'm gonna have a look at them, unfortunately there's no nutritional break down on the site, so if you find them, could you let me know what the fibre content is, thanks

We have just had a 'Range' open in Lincoln and I got a huge bag of Meadow Hay from there for £3.99. It is absolutely fantastic and the buns love it. It smells gorgeous, even i was tempted to eat some!

My buns eat any hay no matter where its from and we normally have bales but they do love the excel forage and the herby harvest from PAH.

ooh, we've got one of those, thanks for the tip

Oh I have never heard of 'Mr Johnson's hay fest' but will look out for it and try it, we buy Western Timothy Hay from the 'Hay Experts' and it's absolutely gorgeous but I do like to try different hay's

ooooo Im going to get some and see what his lordship thinks.....we went into crisis last week when The Hay Experts had gone out of stock of his usual!

Actually, I just looked at their pellets, and they contain Yukka extract - after a quick squizz on-line, I found this research into the benefits of Yukka extract & pro-B in a rabbits diet - sounds amazing. *this is a scientific paper, and includes data from rabbits that have been euthanased *

ive found a place that sells them online and if its the same size that you bought,its a lot cheaper but if your going to buy a few things from here,it wont be too bad when you add the postage on,the place is called feedem and its .co.uk

does anyone know why i cant post links

That's interesting Jay

Its gonna be bad for hay this year, our farmer who we buy hay off is normally on his third crop by now but has only cut his 1st crop.
He's had horsey people wanting to buy 100plus bales off him but he has refused saying that he has to look after his regulars.
We are going for a bale next week and it will be this years one and only crop.
Iv'e 2 giddy bunnies waiting.
Another farmer near us has put his bales up from £3.50 to £13.00 as he knows people as desperate.

I know, I'm gonna stock up on bagged hay in the next couple of weeks. I feel really mean doign it like that, but we can't go without. All the farms round here have said the same

Blimmin out of stock! Grrrrrrrrrrrr

its out of stock on feedem?

Yea! I cant find it anywhere else on line either for some reason. Id really like to give this a try! He is soooooooooo fussy about his hay but he has to eat it because he is a dental bun. Ill check back in a couple of days...fingers crossed x

thats weird,i put some in my basket and its not saying anythin,hopefully then it will be back in stock in a few days,its a shame as things on that website are soooooo much cheaper than other online shops,iam gonna buy some rabbit pellets from there in a few weeks

Oh im going to try again then!

Got some - it was only the bigger bags that were out of stock. lets see what his majesty thinks....... I only slightly hopefull - fussy little beastie!

oh good,i didnt know they did bigger bags,glad you got some,you will have to let me know how long they take to deliver and if they are good,as ive said in my pp that i want to order a few things from there

Has anyone tried Hay for Pets? I got a 10kg bag of meadow hay for £16 free delivery, it sounds dear but I thought I would try it because The Range hay they normally have just gets wasted, they don't eat it all. The hay from Hay for Pets smells lovely and the bunnies won't leave it alone, every bit is eaten. I don't know how long it will last I only got it on wednesday but the bag is huge, customer service is great too.
