Shop / tough 1 slow feed hay bag
Slow feed hay bags now come with an all-natural bonus! Forget the hassle of hardware – these bags offer less risk. But why should you use a slow feed hay bag in the first place?
Slow fed hay bags and nets reduce the risk of ulcers, decrease the secretion of cortisol, help minimize and alleviate boredom, increase chew time, enhance digestion, reduce hay waste, and assist in weight management. This is because horses naturally eat with their heads down, which creates less strain on the skeletal system and soft tissue – something standard hanging bags and nets fail to provide.
Natural grazing also enables the nasal passages to drain effectively. Horses' emotional states are closely tied to their body position and posture. Eating with their heads elevated encourages an alert and tense mental state, whereas eating from the ground reduces this risk. Additionally, eating from the ground does not restrict the horse's peripheral vision, which can create tension when impaired.
Horses are prey animals, and they depend on sight and sound to detect predators. All bags can be used on the ground or hung up as desired. The straps are removable, ensuring no hardware when feeding from the ground. Just be sure to remove the straps when feeding on the ground to prevent any injuries.
The hay bags feature a 4-sided patented design (U.S. Design Patent No. D742,078), which allows your horse to eat from any part of the bag. This exclusive design eliminates the risk of material rips and tears found in other hay bags.
Furthermore, the bags' Super Tough Bottom is made of reinforced overlapping nylon webbing, providing superior strength and durability while keeping your hay fresh and allowing dust and debris to exit the bag.
Slow feeding is recommended by veterinarians to prevent gastric ulcers, colic, and boredom-related behavioral vices, as horses are designed to spend up to 18 hours a day grazing. These hay bags allow you to replicate this natural behavior.
Each hay bag, measuring 19x18x26" with 1.75" square openings, can hold approximately 7-8 flakes of Timothy, Orchard, Alfalfa, or any other type of hay. The bags are designed to minimize frustration and can be stuffed in seconds.
Lastly, these hay bags come with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty offered by Derby Originals, covering manufacturing defects. Accidental damage or wear and tear is not covered, so be sure to contact the manufacturer for more information.
