Hi everyone,
I initially bought my piggies a selection of meadow hay and Timothy hay from Nature's Own online and they have been happily munching that for the last month. Today I popped to a local farm and they sold me a HUGE bale of meadow hay for a fraction of the price. It looks so different to the other stuff but I gave given them a sample and they seem happy enough chomping away at it - for reference, the local farm hay is much paler in colour and much thicker, longer strands, the online hay is much greener, thinner and shorter pieces. I just want to make sure I'm giving them good quality food - if the farm stuff doesn't look good enough I will go back to the online supplier. Any thoughts?
