When introducing slow hay feeding, always provide loose hay along with the NAG Bag for the first week. This assists your animal in learning how to "graze" from the nets properly, prolonging the life of your NAG Bag. Remember - slow feeding is only as good as the hay you are feeding. Meeting the animal's needs is very important, and making sure that you have the correct hay type will help to ensure successful net feeding. Visit our hay testing and articles pages to learn more.
NAG Bags mimic natural grazing because they allow animals to consumer smaller amounts of hay over a longer period of time. This benefits animals with improved digestion and a reduction in the occurrence of colic, ulcers, cribbing, and other emotional issues.
The size of net you choose depends on the type of animal you are feeding, its developmental stage, lifestyle, and the type of hay you are feeding. See our slow feeding Net Guide Below for more information.
Always provide loose hay alongside any NAG Bag nets until the animal seems comfortable eating from the net. This will ensure that animal learns to graze from the net without frustration. Proper introduction of NAG Bags grazing nets will prolong the life of the net and help animals' mentality towards the new feeding method.
