2 Strand Hay Net (Small Bale Net) by Hay Chix is designed to help slow hay consumption to a more natural rate. The small bale is the perfect feeding solution to keep your horse busy in the pasture or in a stall. May be used on the ground, in a tire or feeder. Designed to fit 2-string bales up to 70 lbs. Made of high-quality, UV-treated Dupont fiber netting, cinch rope and hoggle for secure cinching. The original 1-3/4” opening size is the best choice for horses having never used a slow feed net before. Designed to slow down horses prone to eating too fast, or those which are generally healthy, but waste too much hay. The 1-1/4” slow feed is designed for easy keepers needing to slow hay consumption and reduce waste. The 1” slow feed extreme is designed for extreme easy keepers and animals with metabolic issues. This net has shown to help horses with ulcers, pawing, weaving and unwanted behaviors during stall rest.

Always remove bailing twine or net wrap before using slow feeder bags. When introducing your horses to the Hay CHIX net, always feed ‘loose hay’ for the first week. Some horses may refuse the net at first, assuming you will give them more free-choice hay. Allow them to adjust by offering the free-choice hay and then giving them an extended period of time with the net (12 hours or so) and see how much your horse has eaten.
If your horse is shod, hang the net high enough so the horse cannot paw and hook a shoe or use a hay ring which is flush with the ground. Also, you can put the hay net in water tanks, homemade feeders or tires.
Cleaning instructions: Clean your net by using dish soap and warm water, hang to air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals, like bleach, as it will break down the fibers and cause the netting to become frail. Another quick tip—put your net back into use before it dries all the way! The netting loves moisture.
