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.

Bad batch of hay :(
By LyndalRose on Oct 12, 2021
This was my first time buying hay on here since i only recently rescued a Chinchilla. I bought the biggest bag i could since thats her main food source but the bag smelled of tobacco as soon as i opened it which is a bad sign for hay. Thought i was getting a good deal but it was really just a waste of money :(

Inconsistent Kaytee Hay Quality
By BarkingPig on Sep 18, 2021
I'm so disappointed in the inconsistent Kaytee Natural Timothy Hay quality!! There will be periods of time where it is green and chock full of flowers that my rabbits love...but then there will be greater periods of time where I am delivered brown dusty hay that is just worthless. I just recently spent nearly $50 on hay that cannot be used!

By lizard on Oct 15, 2021
Never again! I've ordered with Chewy before. Had problems with shipping. Gave them one last chance. Ordered again. My item is lost. So dissatisfied. Called the 800 number. They won't refund the item. I'm done

bad batch of hay
By joan on Sep 18, 2021
I have ordered this brand before (in May) and my bunny loved it. However, this last order of the 96 oz bags was horrible. 70% dust and flakes, even though it was green and fragrant. My bun completely rejected it-it made her sneeze!

Great hay but a lot of dust
By PetLover on Sep 8, 2021
I purchased this hay for my bunny and 2 guinea pigs for the first time and was very pleased as to how green and fresh the hay was however when I got to the bottom of the bag it was very very dusty, I do understand this is normal with hay and for the price it is great quality.

My rabbit won’t eat this stuff. =(
By Ande on Jul 7, 2021
I’m totally bummed out because I ordered the biggest bag, having no idea that rabbits could be picky about hay! (I’m new to being a rabbit parent.) This stuff has a lot of extremely hard and sharp pieces, and my bunny won’t eat any of that. So unfortunately, he throws it all around and picks out the minimal amount of softer pieces and leaves tons of sticks and stems that I basically just throw away. It’s a complete waste, to be honest. I’m going to donate what’s left (and there’s A LOT LEFT) to my local shelter, maybe they can use it. Next I’m trying CareFresh. Fingers crossed.

Typically good
By Crystal on Sep 16, 2021
I always get this for my Holland Lop, and it’s always super good, however this last bag I just ordered is very brown and my bunny doesn’t like it and is hardly eating it.

Great Staple
By Laura on Sep 13, 2021
Great basic hay. We use this and sprinkle some Brown's Tropical Carnival Natural Timothy Hay Craveables on top. We have found the perfect combination, and our rabbits love it.
