hay

Hello, I have two female mice, I have had them a little over a month now I believe, and they are nearing the bottom of the bag of Kaytee fiesta mix food. I want to switch them OFF the Kaytee brand, to some type of block food and continue hand feeding fresh foods as well. My problem is that I...

This may sound strange. But, I’m not personally allergic to hay but I talk to a lot of people that are and I’m looking for some info to give them. I also see so many people on craigslist getting rid of their pets cause of an allergy. And I want to be able to tell them they don’t need to get rid...

Hi Guys, So I've had my two baby girls, Momo and Chu for about 4 weeks now! But I've noticed that neither of them really eat much hay, and neither of them are at all interested in vegetables :confused: I keep the cage well stocked with fresh hay but all they use it for is their nest box! So...

Can a 5 month supply of Timothy hay/Bluegrass Grass Hay stay fresh if I store it in a dry place? If not, how much of a supply can I but without it going bad? Thanks!!

I use Megazorb as my hamsters' substrate, and I'm wondering if I could mix it with hay and use it as substrate for gerbils, rather than peat or wood shavings? Also, how deep does the substrate need to be? In inches or cm.

So this might seem like a stupid question, but rabbits will eat as much hay as is necessary on their own... right? Because it always seems like there's a lot of leftover (un-soiled) hay in Linus's cage every morning. I know he does eat some -- I've seen him, but I'm worried that he might not be...

I usually get timothy hay in the pet stores. Which is various brands. I had to order degu food online, our local stores do not sell it. Well I saw that Oxbow had a great sale on hay, so I got the biggest bag, Western Timothy. I finally got around to opening it up after using up the last of...

Hello! I have a couple questions on Timothy hay. 1) What hay do you recommend, and is long stranded? I use kaytee right now but sometimes the hay falls through the hay rack. 2) I need a new hay rack because my old one dropped too much hay. What hay rack/manger do you use if you use one? And...

So, in reading through the past threads, I've noticed that a few other people have indicated that they too are allergic to Timothy Hay. Some suggestions included growing your own grass, as well as replacing Timothy Hay with Orchard Grass - for those of you that have allergies, have you replaced...

My bunny kodo loves his hay but the bottom of his cage is wire. everytime he eats a pulls out one strand and the rest fall through the floor where he cant eat it. Bowls dont help and i cant get a hay rack because the bars on my cage side are really wide 2in. Any ways i can feed me bunny hay...

I was wondering if there were any types of hay that were not reccomended for chinchillas. I do not use alfalfa, But I was looking at the oxbow hay varieties and wanted to make sure they were all safe before feeding. I currently feed my guys mazuri pellet with timothy and orchard grass hays. Thanks!

Hello! We've had our cute little Dutch Fiver for over 2 1/2 years now and have had our big New Zealand girl Spring since March. You'd think by now we'd have come up with a solution to keep our home looking like it's completely overrun by rabbits, but we haven't. Well, really our home is overrun...

Hey everyone I'm new to this board... I was searching for a message board specifically because I have had my mini lop for a year now and he is the sweetest rabbit. The only problem is my husband is allergic to the hay. He has been suffering with the hay for the past year because he knows how...

I was always told that rabbit should have an unlimited supply of hay. I think my newest angora might be the exception. She will set there and eat the hay until its gone. I put three large handfuls and she ate it all without even leaving it alone for a second! This cannot be healthy for her! Has...

does anyone have any tips for keeping your house clean? Charmin has a very very large NIC cage but the cage is in a carpeted room! i am having sooo much trouble keeping hay off of the carpet. Seems like I do more cleaning than hanging out with Charmin. And before too long there will be another...

Well lately my chinchilla has not been going into her little hide out, i bought her a new one and she goes in there, but when she is not in there she lays out stretched against the wires of the cage. Could something bee wrong with the home because she used to go in but not anymore? Also i have a...

If you are in the UK, it's worth visiting the Zooplus website (stick it in Google and it will come up straight away). I get all my degu food from there. They even have pear wood nibbles and carrot chips! If you order more than £29 worth of stuff at a time, delivery is free. Otherwise it's...

I can also make bales of the 2 combined. If your interested you may email me at twillett83, i use yahoo. Thanks for your interest

Snoopy is my first bunny and I had him since September. Ever since I had him, my allergy started to act up for the past few months. For a while, I thought I was allergic to bunny, but lucky enough after doing an allergy test, I'm just have allergic reaction to timothy and few other things...
