Zellity piggies
New Born Pup
Hi all
It’s my first time posting but I’ve been lurking here and learning for ages.
Struggling a bit with hay and would like some advice please. We started off with meadow hay, I got terrible blocked sinuses (which I’m prone to anyway). I’ve also tried the natures own sweet green and various brands of Timothy but my partner seems allergic to them (I was fine and the piggies liked it!).
We are now on orchard which we both seem okay with, but the piggies don’t seem to love it (and it’s expensive!). I got a sample originally and they wolfed it down, so maybe it’s just this batch?!
I know that any type of hay feeder is a bad idea, so I’m thinking of sticking with orchard in the litter tray, and then have a big bowl at the side with Timothy or sweet green in? It would be easier to go outside with a bowl and empty/refill, so less hay pollen will get in the air in the house?
We are both taking antihistamines and I’ve bought an air purifier which have helped slightly.
We have recently added two long haired sows which leave bits of hair everywhere, we got them from a rescue and they were in dire need of a trim and their fur smelt. I have bathed and groomed them, I’m just hoping it’s not them that my partner is allergic to, as they aren’t going anywhere
:-)
Has anyone had similar or can suggest anything please?
Thank you!
