Hello squidpop,
I feed grass-hay to the whole herd
about three or more times per week.
I use it as nesting material too.
I purchase from a local farmer that I have known
for about twenty or thirty years.
I purchase only two or three bails at a time,
and it is used up quickly. It is not very often
that I find a problem, and that is more likely
in the "Dog Days of summer" or the heavy rain/Humid
days like now. The Hay I purchase is stored inside
and I store mine inside up on pallets with a separation
between the two bails. It is fed in Hay-racks attached to
the outside of the cage. I NEVER toss hay onto the floor
of the cage. That is only asking for problems, as the Rabbits
will eat soiled hay bringing disease and infection.
I am not afraid to use Hay in my rabbitry. I feel that
it is an aid in the rabbit digestive tract, and I also
believe that they enjoy eating it. As always, JMPO.
Ottersatin.
