  I’ve never bought alfalfa hay before, so I’m not sure if these white fuzzy flowers are normal?

  I have never seen flowers in the alfalfa hay before… They *look* like dandelions, which are safe for buns…. But I’m not totally sure, so I would throw them out. What brand was the alfalfa? Maybe contact the company and ask them?
  
  Ps. Alfalfa is great for a snack and buns love it a lot, but it is not a substitute for their everyday hay, but more as a treat. I sometimes mix it with my buns food.

  Sometimes these kinda little flowers appear from alfalfa and orchard. I don’t know if it is poisinous, but my buns don’t eat when they find a different type of a plant from their hay. I think the main problem about these is they stick in the fur and refuse to come out even if you use brush…
