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).

Stickers and sticks
By HCPT 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

Fresh Hay!
By BunMom on Nov 13, 2020
Finally received hay that is not all broken and dusty! I was using Oxbow but lately I had been throwing half the bag away because it was so broken and dusty.

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 Lala 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

Dry, stale, my rabbit won't eat it
By dimo on Aug 20, 2020
I purchased the 24oz bag to try this hay. My rabbit loved it, it was fresh and green. I bought this larger size because it was cheaper, so disappointed! It was in an open plastic bag in the box, it is dry and brown, not the same stuff! My rabbit won't eat it now

So Far With First Two Boxes, So Good
By Hazelbelle on Oct 1, 2020
Switched to this and, once again, our rabbit is happy to eat her hay. Lots of coarse, long strands of hay that she goes through without complaint or waste.

Great quality hay
By TaylorsBunnies on Aug 25, 2020
This box of hay came within a few days of me ordering it. There are lots of big long strands of green hay with only some brown. My bunnies enjoy it a lot and I am more than pleased with this product. It was a great value for the price!

Fresh, Crunchy!
By Awesome on Jul 7, 2020
Was nervous about this 20lb bag of hay. Came perfectly stored. Shipped in a bag and a box in another box. Everything was super fresh upon arrival and has stayed fresh! Rabbits love the long strands and *crunch crunch* all night. Both of mine are quite picky (healthy?) eaters because they just like their greens and good quality hay. Highly recommend this. For reference. Bought 20 lbs bag for 3 rabbits ( 2 I own -lionheads- one is a neighbor- holland lop). Lasted about 2 months.

My new bunnies love it!
By Jodi on Jun 11, 2020
I've had my two new baby bunnies for 5 days now. The breeder gave me a bag of pellets and some horse hay when I picked them. She said that horse hay was cheaper and thats what she fed her rabbits, so thats what I was feeding them until I got my 20 pound order today! Lets just say that I threw away the horse hay! Both bunnies were sniffing the air right after I opened the box and havent stopped eating it since I put it in their cage. I never saw them eating the horse hay and they would mainly eat the pellets, so seeing them eat so much timothy hay is a surprise! The hay is a nice green color with a fresh scent and a good mix of stems and leaves. They clearly love it and I'll be buying more soon I've had my two new baby bunnies for 5 days now.
