Create a nutty-tasting and nutritious hay blend for your small pet with Oxbow Oat Hay Small Animal Food. Some small pets like Guinea Pigs, rabbits and chinchillas, need hay to maintain healthy digestion. In fact, hay should make up 75 percent of their diet. Along with digestion, hay keeps teeth trim and promotes natural foraging and mental stimulation. Oxbow Oat Hay Small Animal Food is high in fiber, low in protein and full of flavor, making it ideal for adult small pets. Feed unlimited amounts as an alternative to timothy, orchard and organic meadow hay.
Key Benefits- Oat Hay is companion forage that is similar in nutritional analysis to the western timothy. Your animals will love the immature oat grain that is contained in the seed head and will benefit greatly from the fiber in the leaf and stem.
- Oat Hay is a good source of fiber and also gives variety to your animal's diet. This product also makes a good bedding alternative to wheat straw.
- The stage of maturity at harvest determines the development of the seed head. If the hay is harvested immaturely, at the early bloom stage, the actual oat kernel is not mature. The seed heads consist primarily of oat husks, which are rich in fiber.
- Hay is absolutely vital to the health of small herbivores. It provides not only nutrition, but environmental enrichment that mimics the animal's natural habitat.
- Provides a long-strand fiber source that is needed to improve the digestive and intestinal functions by stimulating the digestive system. When animals are fed free-choice hay, it promotes their natural chewing behavior, which helps prevent molar spurs and other dental problems that are so common in these small herbivores.

Not interested
By Boone on Dec 11, 2021
My bun went absolutely bonkers for the other hay varieties I purchased as a treat to from the Timothy I normally feed him, but snubbed this. It had absolutely no aroma, and most pieces were very thick and coarse - so undesirable to him that even upon mixing, he would pick it out and throw aside! I have to wonder if it was the few pieces of hay that escaped the seal and meant it wasn't airtight? It definitely does not seem fresh. I absolutely would not recommend this, I'll probably toss it out back to the wild buns along with the Sherwood pellets he rejected (they seem crumbly, moisture issues?), & the absolutely pulverized into a powder dandelion mix that didn't work out.

Nasty stuff in this
By PZF56 on Oct 27, 2021
I opened a bag yesterday and found a bunch of roots. Threw them away, took some more out today and found what is in the picture. I realize it’s a natural product, but I would’ve expected more from Oxbow. I am assuming there’s more garbage in the bag too. A little disappointing.

Piggies Love
By Alex on Oct 12, 2021
My two guinea pigs tried out this hay recently and love it! It's not crumbly either, so you don't have a ton of dust at the bottom of the bag. Good choice for diversifying their hay types. Would buy again.

Willow B. LOVES this hay!

Good hay, not my pig's preference though
By Casey on Sep 7, 2021
Quality wise, this hay is great. Fresh, not dusty, and long strands. My girls, however, just aren't big fans. They much prefer Orchard Grass and Timothy. As such I wouldn't purchase for them again, but would purchase for future pigs to try and recommend for other pig owners to try.

Piggies love it
By Dawn on Nov 25, 2021
My piggies enjoy this for a once in a while mix in with their orchard grass.

Pain in the butt!
By Dara on Oct 7, 2021
It would be nice if it came with instructions! This is more work than it needs to be and I wish I wouldn't have bought it.

Friend's bunny is in oat hay heaven!
By pnina on Aug 30, 2021
Had this sent to a friend of mine in GA since she couldn't get it locally. It's the only hay her rescue rabbit will eat. Sent her 12 bags and needless to say Ms. Bun was ecstatic!

Disappointed
By Bunmom on Aug 29, 2021
I've given Oxbow oat hay to my bunny, Charlie for years. It's been fresh and appealing. But recently, the quality of this oat hay has diminished. Maybe it's the drought.
