hey. you can found timothy hay on craigslist, i bought a huge garbage bag of timothy hay from local farmer for $8, and my rabbit took more than 1 year to finish the whole bag. the quality is better than pet stores, and my rabbit loves it soooo much!!...

or go google sarsbc
they will have links to local farmers in surrey or cloverdale that sells them in big bunches like the auyatat said

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-5-18 16:02

we get ours from a lady who does bunny boarding. (michele)
vrra sells hay too but the quality isn't as great. (it's more like a grass mix with thorns and stuff =\)

auyatyat~ do you still have the contact info from the guy you found on craiglist? my bunny loves the hay we get from michele but her prices keep on going up..

so many people looking for good quality timothy hay here..haha..
i don't have the seller's phone number anymore
but you can go to http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/
go to PET, and type timothy hay, you should be able to find some sellers

作者: auyatyat 時間: 2009-5-18 22:08

let me post a wanted ad on craigslist, and see if i can find out the seller again...cos i want to buy some for my rabbit soon!

作者: Vincehk 時間: 2009-5-20 23:02

please let me know if you have any respond from the seller, I want to get some fresh hay for my baby rabbit too !

作者: chocobun 時間: 2009-5-21 00:26

i buy mines from vrra... the quality isn't very consistent. there are some unknown leafs and stuff that i have to hand pick them out before i let my buns dig in

i also occasionally buy hay from one of the members from sars, whenever she goes grab her hay she grabs some for me too (like half a bale), and i pay her back for the hay plus gas... comes to around $13 for half a bale, not bad.

the problem is my buns only eat hard hay, they ignore the soft hay... so i hand pick the hard hay for them and i have A LOT of soft hay left behind. anyone who wants them can pm me, feel free to pick them up and let's not waste the yummy hay.

I've never bought Hay from them before since they go by the bale and I have no way of transporting it. But if you buy their pellet foods you can scoupe up garbage bags full of loose timothy hay they have lying around.

Or if anyone can get a bale, I would love to share it with you.

how much is a "bale"..i don't have any idea about it....
are you going to buy timothy hay? i would like to share with you...

作者: littledog 時間: 2009-5-22 16:42

A bale of Timothy is approximately 1.5 feet X1.5 feet X 3.5 feet, the weight varies, depending on the grower. They range from 80 pounds to 110 pounds.

嘩...一個bale 咁多...兩份分,我隻兔都有排食wor

question... are the Timothy very dry? My tortoise eats fresh grasses... if the hay is too dry he refuses to eat it. I try feeding him store bought hay (even soak it in water first) and he didn't touch it.
I don't mind sharing the hay too if he eats it.

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2009-5-22 17:13

Actually I can't share... I need to look for other hay... Cannot use Timothy..

Avoid hays that have excessively “prickly” seed heads - these can injure mouths or eyes. The use of coarse Timothy hay is excluded on this basis.

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-5-22 22:12

i don't mind sharing either =D
but we've got enough for about a month or so still..~

作者: siumaibb 時間: 2009-5-23 14:21

I got mine from Olga @ VRRA, $5 a HUGE bag
I think she got them from a farm too
You need to call and pick up at her place, she is taking care of a lots of bunnies at her place, so you can see some cute bunnies and meanwhile support VRRA (or just her, i dunno) too.

her number is 604 7316026, and she lives in 29th & McKenzie (Van west side)

does she know where to get other kind of hay?
U think I can call her to inquire?

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-5-23 20:18

we really don't like the hay from vrra. yes it's cheap but it's a mix (with unknown plants/flowers and thorns).. plus our bunny doesnt really like it either =\

作者: chocobun 時間: 2009-5-23 23:12

i buy my hay from olga too. olga isn't very nice sometimes... when i buy large portions (like 8 bags at a time) she'd question me as if i'm reselling her hay or something... but it's just becos i used to have 3 buns and they go through the hay really quickly and i dont have time to go visit her like once a week.

but when she's in a good mood she can be very talkative...

this is OT but did you see the poor head tilt buns at her place?? everytime i see those two buns i wanna cry

i hand-pick those flower and leaves out... since i'm not sure what they are i rather not feed my buns those stuff. once when she sold local mixed hay it was horrible and my buns hated them. now her timothy hay is great.

作者: auyatyat 時間: 2009-5-24 23:36

試過草入面有隻乾o左o既草蜢..兔兔全日無食過一條草...

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-5-25 12:49

ew! i'd be freaked out lol =p
i wonder if my bunny'd act the same though cuz he likes to step and sit on spiders =\

oh right and we found a seller on craiglist and we got some hay from her as well. the hay's fresh but it's 2nd cut (the softer ones). my bunny prefers 1st cut =\ we got 3 flakes from the seller ($4 each, so $12 total)
