Description
Slow Bale Buddy from the inventors of Big Bale Buddy
Top quality net Slow Feeders for hay made with 100% knotless nylon
Can be used on its own, or in conjunction with the Big Bale Buddy or a Haybell or suspended in a barn
- Slow BB is very versatile – it can be used for both round and square bales
- Can be used indoors or outside; on its own / over a BBB / under a Haybell
- Made from nylon (not polypropylene as most large bale nets are)
- It is completely knotless, so no risk of damaging your horses’ teeth or gums
- Slow Bale Buddy has the best patent fastener I have seen on a large bale net – it is very strong, easy to use & very safe for animals (unlike the string fastener with other similar nets)
When using the two feeders together hay consumption is slowed down still further, making this a good option for good-doers and overweight horses. It is recommended that the Slow Bale Buddy be put on over the top of the Big Bale Buddy; both for ease of installation and also so that the hay remains accessible to the animals at all times. If the net is on the inside of the Big Bale Buddy it will bunch up inside the feeder as the bale is eaten, making it more and more difficult for the animals to access the hay.

Review kindly supplied by Nicola in February 2025…
So after being initially sceptical of the net, I just wanted to let you know it’s worked out great!
It seems very large when taken out of the box, but once we’d cut the netting off our bale it easily took up any remaining slack, and it was nice and easy to get on the bale in the first place. The closure system is brilliant, no greedy noses are able to fit in the net as it collapses down (or feet!) so it’s really suitable for using just as a standalone net. Our ring feeder should turn up in a couple of weeks, so I’m happy to send another update then, but I’m already a fan and would recommend it to other people.
I’ve included three pictures of when the bale was just put out, half way through the week and this morning.
