Filling a Large GutzBusta Slow Feed Hay NetUpdated 22 minutes ago

Our Large GutzBusta Hay Nets have a new design and are now super easy to fill. No other slow feed hay suppliers in Australia make their larges the same. These nets now open right up and you can fill from the long side of the bale, instead of trying to pull your hay net down the entire length of the bale. Our Large GutzBusta Hay Nets are available in both knotted or knotless nets.

• Place your hay bale on the ground
• Open the hay net fully and position it over the bale lengthways
• Pull the net all the way down so the drawstring sits at ground level
• Flip the bale 180 degrees
• Pull up any loose netting and tighten the drawstring
• Cut and remove the bale twine (taking care not to damage the net)

That’s it! Your hay net is ready to go.

If you are leaving your bale on the ground or tied low (for regularly trimmed unshod horses only) then tie a new simple knot at the base of the net and untie the knot at the end of the drawstring. This then leaves the drawstring loose and free and unable to get caught up in feed and legs.  If you are hanging the bale up, then you may or may not wish to tie a knot at the base of the net.  You can then hang your net up

Due to the square pattern of the holes, the holes don’t collapse down on themselves and therefore the horses can always eat out of the holes.
