Well, I caved and went to the feed store to buy a bale of their hay. It is Orchard Grass, I like it, it is green....but a tad dusty. I think it will do, though...as ordering from Kleenmama's right now is going to cost me an arm and a leg. I got the bale for $20.
Anyway, it is HUGE...I mean...the biggest bale I have ever seen in my life. I had to break it down and squeeze some in a rubbermaid bin for the bunny room. Then the rest of the hay I broke down and stored it in 6 massive black trash bags in the garage...then I poked a thousand holes in the bags, so the hay could "breathe".
Is this a good way to store the hay, or should I be worried about tons of bugs getting into the hay or the hay going bad?
I honestly think I may sell some of the bags of hay...it is going to take my rabbits 2 years to eat it all, I swear!
