Haybox Avis 

I’ve been using Haybox for quite along time now as they produce fantastic Timothy Hay at great prices, which my bunnies absolutely love!
My recent delivery arrived in their new packaging, which is greatly improved and has so many benefits. Previously it arrived in cardboard boxes, which, while great for the environment, not so great for storage due to space or travelling in transit on route (wet boxes or risk of contamination). The hay is now compressed into plastic bags, which contains recycled plastic and can then be recycled at Tesco when finished with, so still okay for the environment. It now takes up so much less space, my order, which would normally have been 6 boxes, arrived in just two, so I can store the hay so much easier. I also used to decant the hay into black bags because it was impractical to take a large box in and out of their enclosures every day, so this has now saved me a job as we can just use the hay in the plastic bag it comes in.
And the hay, most importantly, is still amazing!
Keep up the great work Haybox. 😍

Ive been buying hay from Haybox.com and recommended them to several of my guinea pig keeping friends.. but this last batch i have to say has left me very disapointed.. the quality of hay has dropped drastically.. i wont be ordering anymore .. it smells different and its tiny and dusty.. my guinea pigs used to really get excited when i gave them the hay .. not anymore.. most of it is wasted.. its very dusty now.. such a shame when the product was the best you could possible find.. please rethink this new squashing it to within and inch of its life.. bring back the lovely long hay strands we loved you for..

I've been a loyal customer of your hay products, which have always been a favourite with my rabbits. However, I've noticed a change in the last order. The new vacuum packing technology, while cost-effective and environmentally friendlier with fewer boxes, seems to have a detrimental effect on the quality of the hay. This process compresses the hay into tightly packed bags, resulting in it breaking into small, dry, and flat pieces, which easily slip through the hay racks. Most importantly, there's been a dramatic decrease in my rabbits' hay consumption by about 90%. This is annoying, as I had placed a larger order in anticipation of the holiday season and potential delivery delays. Due to this issue, I am exploring alternatives and have ordered sample packs from other suppliers who use different packaging methods. I hope this feedback helps in reconsidering the packing process, as I would prefer to continue using a product that has been beneficial for my pets in the past.

Fantastic quality hay, the best I’ve ever bought and my guinea pigs absolutely love it! Brilliant customer service too and speedy delivery - fully recommend! 😀

Fantastic great quality product! I ordered the 50/50 Meadow/ Timothy Hay blend. Also great customer service -very quick and detailed response to my question about my order.

Used to be excellent but they have changed the packaging from boxes to tight plastic, and all the hay which used to be lovely and long is now broken into short pieces. Guinea pigs not happy.

I've been a customer for a couple of years but the hay quality is getting more dusty.
I order 2 x 5kg boxes last month but only 1 x 5kg was left on my doorstep without the courier waiting for me to answer the door. I emailed them immediately attached proof of delivery, however 3 weeks down the line and I have had no response. I have tried to call but there is no answer.

Used to be great but since the use of vacuum packaging, our guinea pigs and rabbits just don't really touch it anymore. They used to love it!

Unfortunately, I'm going to change suppliers. A real shame.

I've been ordering from HayBox for quite a while now and it just gets better and better! The ordering process and service are great and I love the recent changes which means less packaging and the hay will stay fresh for even longer. And the hay itself is great quality. Can't recommend enough.

I have used Hay box for the last year and have been more than happy with the ordering and delivery.
The hay is so lovely and smells so very fresh,I use it for my 2 Lop Rabbits who absolutely love the hay 🐰 🐰X

The hay products at HayBox are the best quality and price I have found anywhere. The subscription option means I never run out either. The communication from the team after a query came up was very quick and helpful. They even send you a reminder email to let you know when your next order is due. 10/10 couldn't ask for better service.

New packaging with hay compressed into plastic bags. Hay is very dusty and difficult to get out of bags. It used to be delivered by DPD but now by EVRI who say they've delivered it but actually haven't. I've been on hold on the phone for nearly 3 hours this morning. I sent a message via there website and got what must be an automated message back. I've cancelled my subscription and will be contacting my credit card company to arrange a charge back. Appauling - if it isn't broke don't change your product.

Haybox were fairly good, despite the boxes sometimes arriving damaged by the courier. Occasionally, I would get a bad box of hay (but this was extremely infrequent).

However, my rabbits unfortunately will not eat the new batch of hay in the new packaging, when they usually readily devour their hay. I see others have had similar issues, which is unfortunate. The strands are also shorter and the quality of this batch was lower.

On ordering from a different supplier (who I have also used in the past), the rabbits readily ate the new hay. Unfortunately, I can't buy hay they don't eat and it's strange that this change in packaging to plastic and compressed bales had such a strong reaction from them.

I'm not sure if the hay has also been processed differently (perhaps it has a different smell) as they've also been happy to eat big bale hay (usually bought for the horses) and seemed very hungry when I needed to provide this when they wouldn't eat the new haybox hay in the new packaging.

I’ve been a loyal customer for over a year. I even kept using them when the box arrived damaged, resealed by the courier and HayBox refused to replace it. However, they have now changed to compressed hay, vacuum sealed in polythene. The strands are much smaller and in my opinion lower quality. Our bunnies don’t even eat much of it anymore. I will regrettably have to find a new supplier.

Terrible hay. Guinea pigs have gone off it, the tiny bits of hay get everywhere and there is so much dust. I am now using a new hay company. Also, I think a lot of the 5 star reviews that have been posted since the change started are AI or been paid for. Haybox - you are a con

Why change a good thing?!
Been using Haybox for about a year now, excellent!.....until now. Used to get a box each time filled with long hay, barely any dust and the buns would use the box as a hideout afterwards, couldn't ask for more. Now, short hay, longest is about 6 inches if we're lucky so when I put it in the hay feeder it just falls out, soo much dust and when transferring from bag to box (we're still using an old hay box we have as how are we fitting all that hay in that half sized box?) The dust goes everywhere! I'm currently looking for a replacement source for hay. You've ruined a good thing.

I really like the new packaging and the way of packing the hay. It looks great and is much more tidy to store in my home.

Fantastic and friendly customer service. I have been using Haybox for about a year now, my guinea pigs love their hay.

Haybox are a fantastic company. They work so hard and the quality of their products is exceptional. I’ve been using them for my bunny hay (plus yummy dandelion root, marigold and strawberry leaves treats) for over 4 years now.
I honestly wouldn’t buy my hay elsewhere. You can easily schedule your next delivery, depending on how much you require. My two munchkins don’t eat as much hay in the summer but are devouring it loads now it’s colder. The quality of the Timothy hay is consistently beautiful, fresh and very tasty apparently!
I recently had a small issue which they promptly and professionally resolved in a friendly and courteous manner.
I highly recommend them. Thank you Haybox. Samson and Delilah are very grateful!

I am a long standing Haybox customer as the standard of hay is excellent. I am, however, also another unhappy customer due to the changes the company have implemented with their new packaging. It feels to me they have gone backwards having introduced compressed hay in plastic rather than loose in simple cardboard boxes. The hay needs emptying out into boxes anyway as compressed hay goes everywhere when you pull it out. I realise some customers are happy with the change but no plastic was a positive for me in a world trying to use less plastic. Doesn’t have the same feel as a company now.
