How do you and your buns feel about hay cubes? Mine loves alfalfa cubes because they're fun to munch on, and they're definitely easy for me. It's coming time for him to go off alfalfa, and I was thinking about getting him cubes made out of 100% timothy hay (from a reputable source). Would it be okay for him to just eat the cubes instead of loose hay, or is there something beneficial about the loose hay? Taking price out the equation, is this a healthy diet (combined with some pellets and fresh herbs)?
