The girls are not eating hay they have a small area of 9 inch long grass to graze but they are not touching the hay even when it is first put out is there any point in buying haylage for them yet or wait until the grass is gone completely. It is frozen but they seem ok and are fed huge fibre feeds that take an hour to eat every day too. These feeds are graze on, fast fibre and alphabeet all soaked in a couple of gallons of water about a kilo and a half in dry weight
They live out 24/7

perhaps they are getting enough from the feeds, to not want to eat the hay...?

Frosty grass could be bad for them but I think they should be fine as they are on it 24/7 Feeds are everything they need nutritionally but they should be eating a bit more forage perhaps the grass is enough

Gazdag rarely eats hay in the field either, he prefers grass. If you want them to have more fibre, could you bring them off the grass to eat the hay? Otherwise I'd say leave them with just grass and their bucket feeds if they look well enough!
