Troubleshooting

Pet is not eating the hay.

Try mixing the new hay with the old hay to help the animal get used to the new taste and texture. Ensure the hay is fresh and stored correctly. Check for any signs of mold or dust, and replace if necessary. Some animals may prefer hay from a different cut; experiment with different types if needed.

Hay is dusty or moldy.

Discard the hay immediately. Ensure the hay is stored in a cool, dry place. Purchase hay from a reputable source to guarantee quality.
