I just found two sources of hay yesterday! Richie Feed ‘N Seed sells individual bales of hay. It’s second cut, mainly timothy, with some alfalfa, clover, brome and orchard grass. It’s horse hay. They also have smaller bales of plain timothy. They provide bags to transport it in.
The Old Co-op sells individual bales too. Not sure of the cut, etc. A co-worker gets it for her guinea pigs.
Also, many farmers seem to advertise on Kijiji. The one in my area who advertises individual bales for sale for small pets took their ad down recently. I think they ran out!
I was on the hunt for hay as I know the agricultural price of it, and live in prime hay country (!), so I was sick of paying pet store prices. As I have decreased Cincinnati’s pellets (as per vet instructions), he has been eating five times as much hay, and Daisy has always been a big hay eater… She tried to break into one of the containers I put the flakes in last night.
Good luck! I recommend feed stores and Kijiji.
