I have had both and the buns love both. If pushed I woulod probably say they prefer the Ings but I tend to prefer giving them the timothy as it is very stalky - with five of the buns having problematic molars I think the more chewing they do the better.

We use both but I find our buns and the boarding buns love Timothy hay even buns that don't eat much hay love the Timothy Smile

We have the Ings at the moment, but we all really love stalky hay so we'll probably try the Timothy next.

ings here as well although I am considering ordering some timothy next time as well. The ings is a type of meadow hay that is from managed watermeadows and provides the grass mix like meadow hay.

My bunnies all really love the timothy hay. I don't by Ings simply because I buy really good bales of meadow hay locally so buying ings would be an extravagance, the timothy is their treat hay and they all dig in as soon as they get some.

I also feed Willow and Mojo meadow hay but I know when I gave Willow a bit of my fussy chinchilla's Timothy hay as a treat she wolfed it down. I personally prefer to feed mainly meadow hay due to the different textures etc which all wear the teeth down in different ways, and then buy them Timothy or Herby Hays as a treat Smile
