Hello!
I usually source the hay for my bunny from a local small business. It's essentially a family who has a couple of bunnies, they were getting their hay from a local farmer for years and decided to start a business to help out other bun parents as there's no other alternative. Today I noticed a small bite on my finger after I was digging in the box to get some hay for my bunny. There aren't many dangerous spiders here but there is a small number of them. I don't think there's one that's deadly to humans unless you're allergic but bunnies are a lot smaller so I'm worried. Is it safe to keep feeding it or is there a way to get the spiders out of it? My only other option is the science selective timothy hay from a pet store but it's very expensive and about half of it is just dust. I'm wondering if maybe it's better to keep feeding the storebought hay until the end of fall or switch to it completely.
