As manufacturers of pet hay specifically for the pet industry, our BunnyBales are all six pound
tightly compressed scaled down versions of a regular bale of hay and bound by two poly twines.
These bales are about the same size of a shoe box or a loaf of bread and are individually packaged
in 3 mil plastic bags closed with a wire twist tie. Our BunnyBale design features a number of
advantages over the "loose hay in a bag" routine, or the larger bulk packaging or bales sized for
large farm animals.
- Due to being tightly compressed and bound by the two poly twines the hay will better keep its
freshness, aroma, color, nutrient content, and will greatly minimize hay shattering (crumbling
into little particles) which most pets will not eat.
- Due to it's compressed nature BunnyBales are a tremendous space saver for consumers and
retailers with limited storage space. It only consumes about one third the space generally
required for the same amount of hay from other vendors.
- Again due to it's size and packaging, the hay can be conveniently carried, stored, and
transported with ease and no mess.
- The individual packaging also keeps the hay clean and free from rodent, bat, pigeon, and cat
urine and feces, as compared to large bales stored in barns.
- BunnyBales are all manufactured by hand, meaning the hay is selected and hand fed into the
baling machine by each machine operator. This level of human involvement allows for
constant visual inspection of the hay as it's processed, enabling appropriate action for any
irregularities in the hay. A machine can not provide this added level of quality assurance.
- The BunnyBales are manufactured in a process that compresses the hay into the shape of a
bale. This process involves a series of compressions, each forming an individual section of
the bale. These sections are called flakes or bats and generally there are about 10 flakes per
bale. The bale is designed to be fed a flake at a time and we also produce a BunnyBale
Feeder Kit that accommodates the feeding of these flakes very nicely. With the use of the
Feeder Kit there's even more advantages with minimization of waste and mess, and added
convenience for the caregiver.
- Generally speaking, a BunnyBale will usually feed a mature rabbit for about a month,
especially when used with the Feeder Kit.
- BunnyBales come in Premium Timothy and Premium Alfalfa and they are both priced equally.
- For rabbit enterprises traveling the show circuit, BunnyBales also offer a great level of
convenience and space savings
