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.

Would not recommend
By jess1982 on Mar 10, 2021
I was very disappointed with this purchase. The entire bag was very small pieces of hay. No long strands whatsoever. I had the same experience with their small bag of botanical hay. I purchased a large bag of meadow hay and that hay was long and lovely. Perhaps it is just their small bags. Either way it was a disappointment and basically had to throw the whole bag out as my rabbit could/would not eat it. All it created was a giant mess. The picture shows some decent pieces from the bag actually ...most were smaller than that even. :(

Hay for bunny
By Texanborn on Mar 13, 2021
We purchase this hay for our pet bunny to munch on and to line his cage. Have purchased other kinds in larger amounts but it seems to be very dry. Oxbow organic meadow hay in the ziploc bag is always fresh and my bunny likes to eat it as well as nest in it.

rabbit hates it
By Samantha on Mar 10, 2021
Rabbit hates this and won’t touch it :( I have a full bag now and can’t do anything with it. Will give it to another animal since my rabbit is too stubborn and must have what he wants since he’s the king of the house!

A great seasoning
By Rabbitlady on Mar 20, 2021
I use this as a type of seasoning, sprinkled over first and second cut Timothy, to get my rabbits to eat more hay. It works great and smells wonderful!

Good but Crumbly
By CatB on Nov 20, 2020
Guinea pig loves this hay, but the last inch or 2 of hay at the bottom of the bag was super crumbly/dusty. My pig has a hard time picking out the tiny shreds. For that reason, 1 star docked for value. (I saved the hay anyway hoping I could make homemade treats with it.)
