My chin tends to lose interest in hay pretty quickly. I have tried Oxbow timothy, orchard, and oat, as well as APD 1cut and 2cut. When I first got APD, he was so happy with it that as long as he smelled it, he would stop anything, even sleeping, to eat it. But even given that, within one month and two, he just lost interest in it.
The same thing happens to his chew toys. I have tried apple, mulberry, yucca, willow, pecan and so on. He was excited at first, and now hardly touches them.
Back to hay, what can I do with him? I start to think this is more his problem than the hay problem because I really like the quality of APD hay. I also try to mix the hay together, it doesn't seem to help. On the other hand, he just seems to cannot get enough of oxbow pellets. Now I have to limit the amount of pellets to keep him a little bit hungry so that he can go and eat some hay. I know this is not right, but I cannot think of other ways to push him to the hay.
BTW the way I store hay is to open the bag or the top of the box so that air can circulate. And I put hay where it is dry (humidity <60%) and there is no direct sunlight. Is this the correct way?
