Handy Hay Nets slow feeder hay bags for sheep, horses, donkeys, cows rabbits and more!

We’ve got lots of helpful tips, guides and videos to help you successfully transition your horses and other farm animals to slow feeding hay bags.

Handy Hay Nets Slow Feeder Hay bags for all your farm animals

What are the benefits for your animals?

  • Better for digestion because the smaller netting slows down the amount animals consume at once, and can prevent bloat choke and colic.

  • Simulates grazing helping to release endorphins from chewing, and keeps hindgut bacterial flora happy and healthy.

  • Obese horses will eat less but still have access to food all day.

  • Alleviates the boredom and STRESS that can lead to ulcers, colic in horses, bloat in ruminants AND can stop wood chewing, manure eating, etc.

  • No more bullying in the herd at feeding time. Calmer animals = happier healthier herds!

  • Slow feeding can help regulate insulin levels for horses with metabolic syndrome.

bale of the perfect texture of hay for .5" and 1" netting in slow feeder hay bags

Why the texture of hay matters with 0.5” & 1” net hay bags.

Even though I started my horses on 1.5" slow feeder hay nets initially, I found that they could get too much hay, too fast and were bloated and overeating, so I started making my own 1" hole bags.

This is what I learned…

Notice the level of relaxation is the same with grass grazing and eating from a Handy Hay Net.
