Oxbow Western Timothy Hay Small Animal Food

I've been getting the 50lb batch for a couple of months now and it is always of great quality! Yes, sometimes there is more dust than other batches and sometimes some thicker stalks (obviously that is nature's doing), but I've always gotten green hay that smells amazing! My 3 bunnies love their big box. It lasts about 2-3 months for my two 3lb Dutch rabbits and my 7lb mixed rabbit. It's a pretty big box, probably has 4-5 flakes of hay in it. Comes in a plastic bag. Oxbow does include a note that the hay will vary due to it being natural, and in bulk they cannot sort through the hay as thoroughly. I will always love Oxbow products!

I always order Timothy Western hay 50lb box and every time it's always different. This last box I ordered is very long hard hay pieces and my bunnies won't touch it! Some of it is softer and they will eat that but I feel like I am wasting a lot of it. I have 4 rabbits and they all seem to pick through the hard yellow pieces. I have ordered Orchard grass and my rabbits loved it so I bought another one and they would absolutely NOT eat it! I emailed about the Orchard hay and did receive a refund so that was a plus! Also, I end up with at least a third part of dust hay and have to shake it off. Now I have started to use the dust hay to make my own critical care since its basically ground up so fine I always order Timothy Western hay 50lb box and every time it's always different.

I understand there will be dust hay in bales but it just seems like a lot every time and I'm spending $53 for the 50lb. box every month! … more

I switched to Oxbow timothy hay because I noticed my rabbit wasn't eating as much as she should have been of the other brand I had been getting, and other bunny lovers always raved about this brand. I wish I would have bought it sooner because my rabbit loves it and has since switched to almost completely eating hay (and her regular servings of veggies) while barely touching her pellets. She has slimmed down and is much more active, too. She was still a little too chonky at her last checkup, but hopefully she'll be at a better weight at her next one.

I ordered a 9lb bag and it was great. When I reordered 2 9lb bags because I was nearly out and it was such a good deal I expected more of the quality I am used to with oxbow. Both packages were wet on the inside with some of the hay appearing to be decomposing and leaving everything slimy. I don't know what happened with it but it might be better to use a different brand for a little bit. I am on hold with chewy to get it refunded as I had no choice but to go out and buy it locally since we were almost out and have 7 bunnies to feed. I know chewy will make it right. They are amazing!!!

Myself and my piggies both love this hay. I used to buy the cheap stuff until I found this. They love it and I feel good knowing it’s great quality. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because there is always a lot of dust once I get down to half of the 9lb bag. It’s not so bad and I can shake it off but I would be much happier if there wasn’t quite so much. It won’t stop me from continuing my business with them though .

I used Standlee for 3 years because it was cheap but I only ever got 1 good bale. The price went up but the quality went down. I kept getting dry, brown dusty, sometimes even moldy hay. I would end up throwing half the bale or the whole thing. My animals would only ever eat half of what I gave them. When I finally decided enough is enough & wanted to start getting quality, oxbow was the way to go! Sure it costs more but my animals love it & I don’t have to throw my money away like I did with Standlee. I will definitely be purchasing again.

I have always been impressed with oxbow’s quality, but boy was this a let down this time. I ordered 3 96oz bags of oxbow Timothy hay for my guinea pigs, and this time ALL THREE BAGS look and feel mostly like straw. It is green as opposed to brown and there are some of the soft tops in there, but those are the only positives to this. There are almost none of the leafy blades of grass, most of what is in the bag is thick, hard, chopped pieces of the stalks. I am so upset that I just wasted so much money on this. My guinea pigs will not eat this at all, and this previously had been the best quality hay I had ever bought. I just cannot believe that all three bags are like this.

I absolutely feel robbed, though I do not blame chewy for this. I will have a hard time buying hay online, without seeing it myself, again after this though. … more

I just switched from Kaytee timothy hay to Oxbow and my guineas loved it...so when it came time to reorder, this was the only bag of choice. The other Oxbow bag was trimmed in red with pictures of small critters...they won't eat it this plain bag...I tried even to hand feed it to them and no luck....had to make a trip to the pet store and bought a small bag of Oxbow timothy hay that looked like the original bag I had bought...they are eating and pooping..now I have this big bag of hay they will not eat...don't know what the difference could be, but they know...

I received this 50lb box of timothy hay today. I ordered it on a Sunday night and received it Wednesday morning. I could smell it the second opened my door and brought it inside. It looks very green and high quality! I can’t wait to feed this to my piggies!

I've always bought 15 ounce or 40 ounce bags of Oxford hay, mostly because I like to get different types. The two bunnies I have now, though, seem to show no preference for any type, so I decided to get a 9 pound bag of Timothy hay, which is more economical. It's great, too! You could smell the fresh green hay through the two mailing boxes, and this bigger bag has much longer and stiffer hay pieces that can be pulled out in big bunches. The bunnies even immediately run up to a new bunch at times to start eating, something they haven't done in the past. Plus, the extra stiffness is good for long-haired rabbits, since, in my observation, it keeps them from getting hair blockage.
