Mini Bag
Holds up to one flake
Available in 1" and 1.5" net hole sizes.

The Mini Bag is our smallest hay net, sized perfectly for miniature horses, ponies, donkeys, young goats, sheep, rabbits, and even chickens. It holds up to one flake of hay and offers a simple, effective way to support slow, natural grazing for smaller animals.

Nag Bags help extend forage time, reduce waste, and create a calmer, cleaner feeding environment. Slow feeding may help reduce the risk of ulcers, colic, cribbing, stall vices, and inhalant allergies. Using multiple nets around the area also encourages movement and supports a paddock-paradise style routine.

All nets include a strand of twine and a toggle for easy use.

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.

Highly-rated slow feeder hay bags for miniature horses, donkeys, and alpacas. Customers praise the "soft material," durability, and easy-fill design with toggle closure. Many report bags lasting 4+ years with daily use. "Game changer" for slowing meal times. However, several customers expressed concerns about high shipping costs.

Very thrilled with the Quality

What an amazing feeder! I opted for the 1-inch Nag Bag for my three alpacas and filled it with 2 kg of dry alfalfa hay. At first, they were frustrated, not being used to slow feeders. But by the second day, I was delighted to find the hay gone by morning. The bag is incredibly sturdy and well-crafted. It’s now my confirmed go-to slow feeder!

So Great I Bought More!

Despite the current high shipping costs to California, these bags are so great that I had to buy more of them! After shipping increased I had tried another bag from elsewhere and while some things were the same, the material was much rougher and there was no toggle to close at the top. It was harder for me to fill and deal with hanging. I hung one of the Nag Bags up in the barn and one of the other brand's bags up and the donkeys went for the Nag Bag! The material used is SO much softer - it must be more comfortable for them. And it is definitely much easier for me to fill (opens wide) and then close with the nifty toggle. Now I own four of these great mini bags (1.5 size opening) for my two spoiled donks - super handy to fill and leave in the hay barn and then just grab at meal time. It takes the boys much longer now to finish dinner and they truly seem to enjoy the process of picking out hay from their Nag Bags!

Will always be me and my horses favourite bags. Have loved the larger ones for my horses for years and the mini bag was perfect for the new smallest addition to the herd.

Game changer!

This was the first time I tried a hay bag with my two mini donkeys. Now I wish I had years ago! It has slowed down their meal time and they seem to enjoy the process - like solving a puzzle! I ordered my first bag a week or so ago and only paid $11 shipping. Went to place an order for a second bag this morning and was stunned to see that shipping was $33 (to California)!! The item cost $25 so to pay an extra $33 for shipping just is certainly not in my budget. I understand the reason is due to tariffs - but wow oh wow. Sadly, I won't be able to purchase any more but highly recommend them. Wish I had stocked up!

I love nag bags. I have the larger size and just bought the mini bags. They are actually for a full size horse but it enables me to place multiple nets around the paddock area to give more feeding stations.

Best hay nets

Nag bags are the best! I have been using nag bags for 4 years and all of them are still holding up well. The extra wide option is awesome and makes filling them so easy! Thank you nag bags!

Shipping costs

I really like the bags but I am no longer willing to pay the shipping costs. To pay almost $20 for two mini hay bags to be shipped is a little ridiculous. Sorry I'm going to look elsewhere.

Love the Mini Nag Bags!

I echo Pip Breckon's review. I feed by weight and the Mini Nag Bags hang easily on my scale for filling.

I moved from the 1" to 1.5" holes after watching my Miniature mare getting frustrated over the smaller ones.

Great product. I only have the one horse but have 3 nets for convenience. 😊♥️

Love them

I got 4 mini one flake 1.5 hole bags for my miniature horses. They are great! Easy to fill and I love the toggle closing. I feed by the pound and like the ease of these bags.

Love NagBags

Relatively indestructible, I like the mini bags because Icelandics need only one flake per feeding and look like ticks when they get too much hay! This way My worst instincts are controlled!

Great product!

We’ve been using N. A. G. Bags for almost a decade to help slow down our ‘easy keepers’. After daily use they have held up remarkably well. These slow feeders are well worth the investment. ‘Well made’ is an understatement. And customer service is outstanding. Thanks N. A. G. Bags!
