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.

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.

Loved by Wesley
By Jack on Jun 11, 2021
Our Guinea Pig loves this hay. Lots of tops which is his favorite part. We did get the 9lb. Bag to last a long time and it seems to be in good condition. Not a lot of crushed hay. There is some at the very bottom from what I can see but I have never had a bag that didn't have some crushed hay at the bottom. Overall a winner. Will purchase again!

Great for Tortoises
By Maureen on Jul 13, 2021
My Sulcata tortoises LOVE this, for eating and for bedding. I used to go to the feed store to get Timothy hay. I’m glad I can now just order it (cheaper) from Chewy, delivered along with my dogs’ and cats’ items.

Got a Good Batch
By Lana on Jun 13, 2021
I always order this brand of hay and sometimes the quality could be better -- it's off color or in bits and pieces. I also order from different retailers. However, the first bag I opened (I ordered two from Chewy), was great and my pigs are eating it up. Maybe i should just order from Chewy?

kaytee hay
By Tracy on Jun 5, 2021
I’ve been ordering Katie hay for quite some time now and the last several shipments 1/3 of the bag is all mush/dust. So 2/3 is good he ate 1/3 is not even. Salvageable to feed my little guys

By Dean on Jun 5, 2021
I bought 3 of these bales for my guinea pigs and was disappointed..the rodents did not like this..still have 2..they were using a different brand that seemed much fresher and less dust and dry stems

Do not buy....
By Nikki on May 24, 2021
I have been purchasing Kaytee hay for years, but lately I noticed the quality has been terrible. Maybe they changed suppliers or growers? Whatever the reason, the hay is no longer top quality. Will no longer purchase.

Poor quality
By Minie on May 31, 2021
Very dusty very old hay. It’s best to buy 24 oz to get best quality. It also says expire 2023 but don’t believe it. It is best to eat the hay 1-3 months after creation date not expire date.
