Things you may consider

  • The size of the net hole you choose depends on the type of animal you are feeding, its developmental stage, lifestyle, and what hay type you are providing. See our Net Guide for more information and our Hay Testing page.

    general guide below:

    1 inch: Ponies, miniature animals, and young mini goats and lambs will all do very well with 1-inch netting.

    1.5 inch: This is our most popular size for equines, donkeys, mules, alpacas, goats, sheep, llamas, rabbits, and yes, even chickens!

    2 inch: For larger breeds like drafts, warmbloods, working horses, young and older horses, and calves.

    2.75 inch: For cattle and horses, when consumption is not an issue, just wanting to keep the hay in the feeder. The 2.75 is a great net, especially in colder climates. It can be used for older horses, growing, working & racehorses, and it works great for cattle. This net needs to be used in a feeder as its larger holes could be a hazard. 

  • When introducing slow hay feeding hay nets, always provide loose hay along with the NAG Bag for the first week. Loose hay feedings assist your animal in learning how to "graze" from the nets properly, minimizes the chance of net damage, and prolong the life of your NAG Bag.

    Remember, slow-feeding is only as good as the hay that’s being offered. Meeting the animal's needs is very important, and ensuring that you have the correct hay type will help ensure successful net feeding.

    Visit our Hay Testing and Articles pages to learn more.

  • NAG Bags will benefit all equines, especially for the care of ulcers, colic, cribbing, aggression and nervous horses. Small but frequent meals are your best defence against the formation of ulcers and promote ulcers' healing. Veterinary-recommended NAG Bags support healthy digestion.

  • NAG Bags offers hay nets in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different needs.

    The small-sized hay nets typically have the capacity to hold around 1-2 flakes of hay or a smaller quantity suitable for individual servings. These are often convenient for travel or shorter feeding durations.

    The medium-sized hay nets have a larger capacity, capable of holding approximately 5-6 or more flakes of hay. These are ideal for extended feeding periods or for multiple horses.

    The large-sized hay nets with the highest capacity are Round Bale and Large Square Bales. The capacity of these hay nets is tailored to accommodate the size of bales, measured in feet (width x height).

    It's important to note that the exact size and capacity options may vary between different models or product lines offered by NAG Bags. It is recommended to refer to the specific product descriptions or reach out to NAG Bags directly for detailed information on their hay nets' size and capacity specifications.

  • NAG Bags can be used with shod horses. However, the nets should be placed in a tub, feeder, hay ring, or hung out of the pawing range. We do like to see the net in a lower position, if possible for a more natural foraging position.

  • When Nag Bags hay nets are property introduced, our customers find that their horses prefer to forage from the Nag Bag rather than loose hay. Trickle feeding is natural for them, and they know it. Choose the correct net hole size for your animal to match their needs and hay type.

    Please view our Net Guide for more information. Still not sure; please call. 

  • Our nets are constructed with longevity and animals in mind. Constructed with high-quality knitted nylon blend material ensuring that our slow feeders' hay nets can withstand rigorous use and maintain their integrity over many uses.

2.75"
Bigger than described

I took the 2,75 inches for my older mare. I was able to fit 4 bales (about 40-50 lbs each). The net is soft and easy to close. Very nice product

Bought 2

So the first one I bought a couple of years ago was a 1.5. Saved my horse, he can't handle dust. Decided to get another this year...2.75. works the same but is smaller than the first...by a fair bit so therefore doesn't hold as much hay....I don't use squares. We made a frame to hold it while filling loose hay..same width at opening but shorter. Also the cord appears thinner so hopefully it's as though as the first one.

Wish I bought this before!

I am using those slowfeeder since 4 months and it is so great!! It really save me time and money! no more soiled hay to on the ground to scrape and pick up! And my horses are so calme because they don’t have an empty stomach! I put 6 small square bales in a feeder and put this net over it and they have hay for 3 to 3 1/2 days!! Plus these nets are very resistant !! And I really appreciated the great service and good advices I had !! Thank you Nad Bag!!

Works well for chunks of square bales

I section off chunks of 750# bales into these. They hold about 2-3 small bales worth of hay. Then I drop these in large tire feeders w/ my tractor. Works well for my crew, its 2-3 days of hay for 2 horses. There is very little wasted hay.

Lov it!

The 2 bale slip feeder is great. I don't have any waste and where I live we get a lot of spring and early summer rain. With the 2 bag bag bale slip I'm not wasting hay and it's not getting moldy like my round bales were, and I'm not having to waste part of a bale. Works as I can feed just enough to get through my crazy work schedule. Plus I can fit 3 80lb square bales and have fit 4, but it's a little tight with 4. I would recommend this product. I intend to buy another.
