Hello Everybun! We are the suppliers of Crazy Tasty Hay for bunnies. I love the idea of bunny parents going out and getting bales of hay for their bunnies. The more hay, the healthier the bunny! That is why we ship entire bales of hay.
What we have done is actually taste-tested hays on over 100 house rabbits before ever granting the Crazy Tasty Hay brand to them. In order to receive this brand, the hay must have overwhelming bunny approval. We have gone through over 100 different bales of hay, just this spring to be sure the hay we supply is irresistable to buns. Of the 100 bales, only 2 knocked our bunny socks off. After that, we get the lab analysys done to be sure it is not only tasty, but high quality and healthy for house rabbits.
Then, we package it up in sizes that are manageable to bunny parents. This happens to be large bags because many bunny people live in apartments and cannot store an entire bale of hay, or only have one bunny.
We also have to advertise our product to let other bunny parents know that there is a special hay out there that is made just for bunnies. It is not a feed hay for horses or cows. It is an extremly high quality hay.
So all this together is a lot of work. We started this bunny venture because we love rabbits and wanted bunnies worldwide to have a better hay.
If you DO go to your local farmer and are able to find a hay that delights your bunny, that is wonderful! Fresh hay is the BEST! But please remember to ask about sprays and preservatives. One common preservative is proprionic acid and is very damaging to rabbits. It is on most alfalfa hays, and many feed hays.
So when you see the price of hay, just remember that our hay has been taste-tested by many rabbits, quality tested in the lab, and free of pesticides and preservatives.
To all those who have tried our hay, thank you for your support!
