Shorefields, Small Compact, Meadow Hay, Bagged, 10kg

It was compact. Fresh medow hay. My guinea pigs live it. I use for bedding. They eat it just love it.

I ordered a small bale, on arrival I opened the bag to find the hay to not be of the quality I had expected. It was older hay and dusty. I messaged the seller to get an immediate response! I sent a picture of the hay, with no quibble I had a new, fresh, larger bale delivered the following day!! I can not recommend this seller enough, fast, friendly communication and the hay quality is fantastic…. Perfect for my daughters spoilt Guinea pigs lol! I will certainly order again, I am confident the small dry bale had perhaps slipped through the net from last years cut or something. **** stars from me, thank you Shorefields.

I know less than nothing about the quality of hay, but my guinea pigs love this stuff! I'm assuming this means it's pretty good! It is very densely packed so is difficult to get out of the bag, but this also means it's not as big as it might have been and is easier to store!

My guinea pigs love this hay. It's quite tricky to get out as so tightly wrapped but does last for ages.

Brilliant. Will be buying again.

- I bought this as I couldn’t really afford to be paying for the more bougie subscription of haybox and wanted to see if it was more value for money if I bought this product. - found a few chunky sticks at the bottom of the bag - difficult to remove from the packaging, I found turning it opening it upside down and ripping it from the sides has the more softer texture so easier to remove. - isn’t really fresh in my opinion, but my guinea pigs seem to like it. Time will tell if I decide to continue with the subscription - smells pleasant, nothing bad! *3 months later* - I wanted to update my opinion since I’ve now subscribed to them a while! I find the batches are hit and miss in terms of softness (but you shouldn’t have too soft of hay anyway cos of guinea pigs teeth) The guinea pigs do love it and eat a lot of it quickly. I find waste to be minimal. You do have to watch out for sticks in there but otherwise a good quality hay, and a better quality than pets at home, but a cheap alternative to Haybox. It still remains a workout to get it into the bale, so I still suggest going into the sides to get it out. I also recommend removing the packaging completely and moving it into suitable storage so that you can access the hay with ease.

Bought this an it does have a smell to it but my guinea pigs and rabbits absolutely love it! Its packed tightly so should last a little while. Will defo be buying this again and again!

I ordered this hay for my Guinea's and rabbit's, I have bought the full bales off this company before and its top quality!! So I decided to try the compressed bale to save space! What a mistake!! The picture on the left is the compressed bale the one on the right is the full bale. It's brown musty and smells awful. Not happy considering how much it cost.
