May be fed to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small animals.
Baby rabbits: A baby rabbit, or kit, feeds solely on its mother's milk for about the first three weeks. During the first few days, the milk contains high levels of antibodies that help protect the kit from disease. After three weeks, the kit will begin nibbling on alfalfa hay and pellets. By 7 weeks of age, baby rabbits can handle unlimited access to pellets and alfalfa hay in addition to mother's milk. Kits are usually weaned from their mother's milk by 8 weeks of age, depending on the breed.
Juveniles: Between weaning and 7 months of age, the young rabbit can have an unlimited amount of pellets and alfalfa hay. At 3 months of age, start introducing small amounts of vegetables into your rabbit's diet. Introduce one vegetable at a time. If any vegetable seems to cause digestive problems, avoid feeding it in the future.
Young adults: Young adult rabbits from age 7 months to 1 year should be introduced to timothy and grass hays, and it should be available all-day long. The fiber in the hay is essential for their digestive systems to work properly. At this point, they will require little alfalfa hay, as well as fewer pellets. Instead of offering unlimited pellets, a good rule of thumb is 1/2 cup of pellets per 6 lbs. of body weight daily. To make up for the nutritional loss, you must increase your rabbit's intake of vegetables and hay. You can feed your rabbit some fruits during this stage, but because of calories, limit them to no more than 1-2 ounces per 6 pounds of body weight daily.
Mature adults: Mature adult rabbits should be fed unlimited timothy, grass hay, and oat hay. Once again, you should reduce the pellet portion of the diet. A standard guideline is 1/4 cup of pellets per 6 lbs. of body weight per day. Several servings of vegetables are required (2 cups per 6 pounds of body weight daily).

very course
By guineapigmom on Jan 24, 2021
I wanted to like this. I had hoped my piggies would like it. It was all very course hay - they won't eat it. I won't buy it again. Wish I knew what I could do with the rest of it - which is about 85% of the box!

Stickers and sticks
By Hollymc on Sep 22, 2020
Well I reached in to get a hand full of hay and got stuck pretty good by a limb from a sticker bush and several small sticks in middle of hay Now I feel like I will have to inspect every piece Of hay and see if there is anymore of nature’s trash in there My guinea could really get hurt if she got entangled in this sticker limb I don’t know much about hay but I don’t think it is usually full of stickers and sticks Or in my experience it has not been like that in other hays I have purchased for my Guinea This hay is also very dry and straw like Which my guinea doesn’t care for This could be a fluke or a regular thing with this brand hay But I won’t be buying any more to find out It is nice Well I reached in to get a hand full of hay and got stuck pretty good by a limb from a sticker bush and several small sticks in middle of hay Now I feel like I will have to inspect every piece Of hay and see if there is anymore of nature’s trash in there My guinea could really get hurt if she got entangled in this sticker limb I don’t know much about hay but I don’t think it is usually full of stickers and sticks Or in my experience it has not been like that in other hays I have purchased for my Guinea This hay is also very dry and straw like Which my guinea doesn’t care for This could be a fluke or a regular thing with this brand hay But I won’t be buying any more to find out It is nice the way the hay comes off in sections It was packed and mailed very nicely and arrived quickly It was reasonably priced And if your pet prefers crunchy straw like hay This fits the bill I would just recommend looking at hay as you give it to make sure no sharp sticks or stickers are mixed in Maybe that’s the case with all hay But definitely this brand … more

Spirit loves Rabbit Hole Hay!
By Gypsy on Nov 17, 2020
Spirit loves his Rabbit Hole Hay. He makes little nests in it. He also gets a little in his litter box, and then it is more appealing.

I liked the way this looked.
By winstonnumber2 on Aug 30, 2020
The length was better and it smells fresh yet my piggies are less than enthusiastic about this hay. As they're not talking, I don't get it. The quality of the oxbow brand we'd been getting for years had fallen so far that I believed they'd be happy to get anything better than timothy dust. Could just be the adjustment of a different brand? Dunno.

Crunchy and free of dust
By Brooke on Sep 5, 2020
Fantastic quality, 1000 times better than my most recent 9lb bag from oxbow who's quality has gone to trash lately. Actually better than oxbow quality has ever been. I am very pleasantly surprised
