What is a herbivore?
Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. This includes hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas and other common small animal pets.
Why does a herbivore need hay?
Feeding hay to an herbivore is not an option; it is a necessity. A high quality grass hay should be available at all times. Hay not only provides the roughage essential to maintaining proper teeth wear, but it is vital to maintaining a healthy, functioning gastrointestinal system. They need a diet high in fiber and low in carbohydrates to prevent diarrhea and other digestive complications.
Award-Winning, Certified Organic Food
Translated as "good earth," Bene Terra fortified food and treats gives rabbits and guinea pigs the nutrition these animals would find in their natural environment. More than 95% of the ingredients are certified organic, including high-fiber hay plus blueberries and cranberries, which are rich in antioxidants.
Treats for Enrichment
Oxbow's healthy treats are rewarding for small animals and their owners. Bene Terra Organic Barley Biscuits are oven-baked, natural and full of organic goodness. Packed with fiber, antioxidants and omegas, they're perfect for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small pets.
The Gold Standard of Small Pet Nutrition
An ideal small animal diet includes 20% fortified foods for herbivores and 75% for omnivores for essential vitamins and micronutrients. Oxbow's three fortified food lines are recommended by veterinarians worldwide because they're specially formulated to meet the unique needs of small animals—a true gold standard of nutrition.

Our bunnies, tortoises and chinchillas love this hay! This is one hay they eat all of rather then play in it or leave half of it behind.

Great treat hay!!!
By Bunnylover on Dec 19, 2019
My bunny regularly eats small pet select’s orchard grass hay and lately she’s been getting bored with it so I wanted to spice it up and give her treat hay. I put these in paper bags and tied them up and she loves shredding the bag to search for the yummy Meadow hay.

It's ok to mix it up
By mom2dustyandcookie on Jan 24, 2020
This works ok for us by mixing it with other Oxbow hay varieties, but not by itself.

My piggy went nuts over this. I regularly buy the Oxbow for her, but have never seen the meadow hay. So glad I decided to try it.
