1 bale =?

kimmerz · 21-02-2008, 11:10 PM

I don't wanna sound thick but ive emailed somewhere in bristol about stocking auboise (which they do yey) but when they gave me the prices it was all bales and I don't know how much a bale is, is it 20kg?
there minimum delivery is 10 bales so I would have to collect.

I don't know the weight but sizewise they are about as big as a bale of straw or hay, I can only just lift one, its how petshops make their money pay about £6 per bale split them up into small bags and make a fortune, they keep forever in a dry place you'd need a good big shed or garage for 10 bales, however many torts do you have that amount would last you a life time, a 12x12ft stable only takes about 3 bales. sorry didn't see the bit about collecting, it should fit in a good car boot but you'd need help getting it out unless your very strong, we pay around £8 in our local horse feed place,

I think Surrey Pet Supplies sell it in the bedding section. £7 something a bale. Not sure how much delivery is though

Just had a look and it's £8.25. That's including delivery

Just to say that I read it wrong when I got the quote. It's actually over £15 with the delivery so not such a good deal afterall,

Have a look to see if there is a horsey place near you, i got a bale for £8, its a 15kg bale, just have a ring around

yea I'm only getting the one bale lol. just wondering how much a bale was think it was bout £8 for one bale, I'll be taking my boyfriend with me so he can do all the lifting

I guess i'lll find out when I get there how easy it is to fit in my boot, I've got a convertible but it's a hard top convertable so the whole roof can fit in the boot so maybe a bale can or I just put the roof down squeeze it in the back seat n hope for the best
