Can I give my chins horse hay cubes

[ChinDynasty]

I am going out of town for a week and my chinnies will be home alone, my neighbor is going to come and check on them but because I have an escape artist with no fear, I'd prefer if she didn't have to open his cage. Food hoppers and water can be filled from the outside but hay is the problem for me. I always give them fresh hay which I have to replace everyday, I found these horse hay cubes @ Tractor Supply and I was wondering if I can give these to my babies?

Yup. Lots of people prefer to use the cubes over loose hay because it's less messy.

My boys prefer the 1/2 alfalfa + 1/2 timothy mix cubes.

I tossed in several kids lunch sacks stuffed with their hay also because they do enjoy picking through their hay. I give out hay cubes once in a while....they can be quite large bricks but I break off little "hay flakes" to make it more managable. Oh, and I always have two water bottles in case one stops working/breaks/leaks. Make sure the new one works, it can be hard to find a good new water bottle.

I use hay cubes and loose hqay. My chins love both.

Standley also makes "mini" cubes that are just chin sized!

Mine prefer the Timothy Alfalfa mixed cubes too. I like the big ones as it's harder for them to make a mess!
