Snak Shack

Stuff some hay in the bag and maybe push the bottom through so it's a tunnel. Two openings means there's a escape route if you ask any of the pigs here.
Ok, I just ordered my first shipment of hay from Kleenmama. Anyone have ideas of how to store it inside the house so that it won't get moldy, and it won't spill all over the place? Is storing the hay in a tote with the lid off okay to do, or will the hay on the bottom just get moldy?

You can leave it in the box. *When you get the box, open the top, push the bag its in around to the sides, then shut the top and tape it shut. Turn box over, open up and pull take bag out, leaving hay in box.

Well thanks, that is good to know. My piggies are going to be so excited to get their nice new hay!

I get why the huts are bad for the most part, but ya'll keep talking about the alfalfa in it and I'm a little confused. Why is the alfalfa in it bad?

Ok....just making sure. I have young pigs so they are on alfalfa pellets. I'm reading about safe toys and such, and finding that a lot of stuff marketed for piggies is BAD!!!! If I do the toilet paper rolls (slit of course) what about the glue? I haven't see anything about the glue.
I noticed that Oxbow even has things on their site that aren't good for piggies. I guess I will never find a site that I don't have to weed through their products?

What oxbow things?
The snak shack has other bad ingredients like sawdust and honey.

Sorry sus....I was looking at so many things I think I got mixed up. So...all of the oxbow treats and supplements are good?
I haven't seen anything on the Oxbow site that I wouldn't feed as recommended. I keep my pigs' diet very, very light on treats but theirs are all healthy and balanced. If the snak shak were made from woven alfalfa only then it'd be ok for your young pigs. Since it's mostly sawdust and glue it's trash.
Do notice that Oxbow sells foods and treats for other species as well. Some of the bags can look similar if you aren't paying attention (especially Cavy Cuisine versus Cavy Performance) so always buy carefully.
