I just bought a small animal or pet bird and want to know what the best cage or habitat is for it?
You must first decide how much space you have available for your small animal or pet bird. Once you have done this, we recommend looking at a few possible habitats you like and then checking the measurements of those you have selected. For example, if you choose a CritterTrail habitat you could then see the dimensions it provides in the item description. Then with a piece of large paper or a sheet of newspaper, cut out a section the same size as your habitat and place it in the area you will be keeping your new pet. Don’t forget to make sure you also have the right food for your new pet.
Grass Hays - What are the differences?
Grasses such as Timothy, Orchard, and Bermuda are herbages that naturally grow or are grown under cultivation and have jointed stems with narrow to wider leaves (blades) depending on the plant. Most grasses have a soft green to gray/brownish color depending on growing and harvesting conditions and storage of the product. Kaytee sources premium high quality Timothy, Orchard, and Bermuda grass hays in areas where moistures are controlled by irrigation and harvested under optimum conditions resulting in greener, richer quality grass hay products. Grasses are high in fiber and provide lower levels of protein and calcium compared to alfalfa. Grasses will have similar values of protein, fiber, and calcium depending on where they are grown and the harvesting conditions. Kaytee’s premium Timothy, Orchard, and Bermuda grasses aid in the natural digestive process of small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas; compliment their daily diets and provide a healthy variety to animals. Rabbits in particular have a digestive tract that is among the most delicate and sensitive of any animal and benefit from the long-strand fibers in grasses. They have a simple stomach like most pets, but are hindgut fermenters, with a specialized cecum that breaks down indigestible fiber into fatty acids, an important energy source. Gastrointestinal disease caused by low fiber intake is one of the most common feeding problems of house rabbits. Grasses are high in fiber, lower in protein and calcium compared to alfalfa, therefore grasses are a preferred choice for rabbits and other small animals to help prevent urinary and obesity problems. Alfalfa with higher protein and calcium is recommended for pregnant, lactating, or young, growing rabbits and animals. Feeding a variety of grasses stimulates the animal’s senses, provides the natural fiber needed to aid in digestion, and increases the animal’s foraging instinct. Grasses are also offered to other small mammals and birds as they will benefit from the fiber source, chewing material, and can be used as nesting material.

96oz size cut into small pieces
By petowner on May 2, 2020
I've been testing different brands. This time I tried the bulk size 96oz Kaytee bag - yet it was shredded to small pieces (more like wafer cut which is sold separately). My guess is they cut it up into these small chunks to pack into bag. Can be ok if your pet likes small pieces but my bunny prefers long stems with the seed heads. No seed heads, and a lot of dust when you shake a handful out. I give two stars to use this as bunny litterbox lining.

My go to hay for my guinea pig!
By Chrissy on May 4, 2020
This is my go to timothy hay for my guinea pig. She absolutely loves it! It can be a bit dusty as you work your way down the bag, but it isn't excessive. Just know, if you've never smelled timothy hay, it has an extremely strong sweet odor, took me a while to get used to it. I would definitely recommend!

Too Much Hay Dust
By JCDCEMom on Mar 12, 2020
I purchased the 96 oz bag knowing that there’s always some hay dust, but the amount of dust in this particular bag is unacceptable. I am going to have to buy another bag of hay pretty soon because there’s not enough actual usable hay. When I purchase these at physical stores I always check the bags to make sure I don’t see too much hay dust. Obviously, with this being an online purchase I didn’t have that option. It would have been nice if Chewy had some quality control and held the manufacturer to a higher standard.

Guinea pigs
By Tlewi on May 9, 2020
The Timothy hay seems to look good at first but once you get thru the top layer theres nothing but what looks like saw dust in the middle. Very disappointed I’ve only noticed it being this way when I ordered it.

Big-O-Bag of Hay
By Maxx on Apr 15, 2020
I know I ordered a large bag of Timothy hay for my guinea but when it came and I pulled it out the box, it was worth it , it's smells fresh and cut up so nicely and the bag is so enormous worth every penny, it's going to last me for at least 3 months and I have one guinea so perfect.

Timothy Hay
By Ellie on Mar 30, 2020
Ellie likes her Hay very much. I use a dog bowl in her cage as the dispenser frustrated her. She burrows in it to make sure no treats are in it, she dumps it and scoots the bowl around. But she does like her Hay.

Great Hay!
By Sarah on May 4, 2020
I recommend getting this hay because the hay is so well gathered and strong! This hay also isn't full of dust, unlike some other brands.

It's okay for the price
By mom2dustyandcookie on Apr 9, 2020
Our bag was not dusty. However my bunnies just picked on it here and there. Not too bad for the price. So I used it in the litter box for them to nibble on.

What guinea pigs love.
By Nugget on Apr 20, 2020
Great size bag of our guinea pigs favorite food. Stores offer small bags but this is so much easier and last long time. At good price.
