Foreign stuff in hay

[Frosted Rabbits]

Last Sunday, just a few hours after feeding, I found my REW Rex doe dead. Today, I think I found the reason , other thant fright from cat being in area. I had purchased a bale bag of Dumor Chopped alfalfa and Timothy last week. This morning, in nicer weather and better light, I found shredded hay strings in each handful of hay I pulled from the bag. So I am ticked, A R's death was very well preventable if I had seen the string when Ii first started using the bag. Lesson-don't trust processed hay.

So sorry- how terrible.

If it were me, I would contact them ASAP. Hopefully, you still have the bag as they will probably want the lot number. Maybe take some pictures and email them?

Oh no! I am so sorry!

I totally agree that the string is the culprit.

I would definitely contact the company. Even if you don't want to risk using their hay again, I am confident that they will send you vouchers for some of their other products to try as compensation.

Oh, already contacted the customer service number. Need to round up reciept- they will refund or exchange. But how do Skysthelimit or I replace the genetics for color AR was carrying?

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Miss M]

I'm so sorry, Terry! And Sky!

 

[ArcticWolfLady]

I'm so sorry! Your loss is very deep, I understand. Sorry!

That sucks,
--I am very skeptical, when it comes to chopped , bagged hay, as it is hard to see the junk, or mold, and you must look closely, and smell for it, [same goes for pellets] - some of the people who work at the processing plants just do not "give a damn" --or-- management would rather process the bad feed products,and sell them, then take a loss on their inventory, -- most of the time they get away with it, as most people haven't a clue what happened to their animals, and the symptoms could be a number of things. -and when someone figures it out and complains, all they loose is the cost of a few bags of feed.
