Hay Question

[m.e.]

Exactly how my buns are. They are verypicky when it comes to their hay, which is one of the reasons I got theOxbow (that, and it's pretty darn good stuff). They wolf down theTimothy like there's no tomorrow.

Spiced thats what my Stitch does she drags out the ones that aren't green and lays it all over her cage and poopies on it!

For those who may be interested in storing hay bales accordingly, Ijust this afternoon received the "replacement" rectangular plasticbags. After some Internet searching for rectangular plastictrash bags without any success, I finally located a motorcycle dealerin Delaware that sells plastic hay bale covers, usually used to linethe edge of a race track. Turn said covers over with theopening on top and voila`, my hay storage problems are over!

Nice heavy duty white plastic covers with the Moose Bay Racinglogo on them, albeit upside down in my application. Theywillcomfortablyhold larger bales of strawand hay than I am able to buy in this area. At $4.95 ea, theyare not terribly expensive and shipping was $6.00 for two ofthem. More importantly, they function as I anticipated.
