So until recently the only hay the goblins have ever really wanted, is oat hay and the stalkiest, spiniest poke-happy timothy hay possible. Soft hay was a no-no. They'd eat it if they absolutely had to but there was a general vibe of "stop hiding the good stuff" and if you put down the Happy Hay samplers, meadow and crau got ignored. Expensive organic hay from France is nothing compared to poke-happy timothy.
However, they do love orchard hay too, not as much as timothy but they still get excited for it. But what I don't have is room in the house for boxes over 5kg. 10kg can work but it's pushing it for space getting up and down the stairs because the box sits in the corner of the first "mini landing" before the top of the stairs. I asked Happy Hay if it was possible to get a box of timothy and orchard in the same box because of space restraints but it turns out they use different sized boxes for each (which...kind of makes sense, 2.5kg of orchard hay took up a quare amount of space in the 5kg timothy box), so that's a no.
Since Cam does occasionally decide to nest himself in some hay, I've gone with the orchard. It's softer, less likely to poke his eye out, they'll still both happily eat it. Is there anything I should be watching out for, or feeding less of because of it? Oat, meadow (and crau) and timothy I'm familiar with, but orchard's new to me.
