Does anyone know where I can get Timothy hay in Cape Town?

None of the pet shops seem to stock it :confused:
 
Thanks! I wonder what customs would charge. In fact, would customs even let it into the country?

They may or may not. Foreign seeds and grasses I think are prohibited unless registered with the MCC because in the health food stores they sell imported dehydrated grasses in powder form. I've had identical powdered grasses confiscated many times because the brand was not registered. (MCC registration for natural goods is Just a money making scam really) But AH is not for human consumption so it's a grey area. They may claim hay has unwanted pests etc etc. Best you can do is order some and see if it makes it through. Then you can see if your bunnies get nice and fluffy.

Thanks everyone! The Cape Rabbit Club managed to point me in the right direction. Apparently in SA they call it teff grass, not timothy hay. I'll be getting some tomorrow :)
