I just ordered a variety of 15oz oxbow hay bags. I bought one of each kind they had : Botanical, brome, orchard grass, timothy, Oat. Oxbow isn't available in my area so I thought i'd buy a small quantity of each and see which my bun likes best before ordering bigger bags.
So the box arrived yesterday and I opened up all my hay bags. I was expecting nice long strands of hay since I've only heard good things about oxbowbut 3 out of the 5 bags are filled with short little hay bits. It looks like hay mulch. The longest pieces are 3-4 inches, but most of it is hay bits <2" long. The only bags with decent sized pieces are the orchard grass and brome. I tried to put it in Gimpy's hay rack and it just fell out becuase the pieces were too small. I guess I need to find a hay basket or something instead, so I can atleast feed thishay mulch.
Is this normal or is it becuase i bought small bags, so I got the smaller hay leftover bits? Do you get nicer(longer hay) in larger bags?
