I have been going to Petsmart for their 96 oz bags of hay. It's getting really expensive, so I found a feed store that will deliver. I'm excited but I have a few questions. The first, they offer compressed bales of hay that are about 61 pounds each. They are $15.99, plus the delivering fee. I've never bought bales of hay so I had a few questions.
The first, I assume compressed bales are like the ones you see in movies or around halloween that are rectangle and bound and come apart in flakes. Is this correct? If so, what is the best way to store it? I figure a brand new plastic trash can like people put in their garages will work. Or do I need to find something to keep bugs out? Also, how long do you thing 61 pounds of hay will keep before I have to start considering its nutritional value? I assume with my small group of rabbits (which now numbers 4), a whole bale will last at least six months.
Thank you.
