Amazing quality of hay for my pets. They love it

Nice and green

Great quality product! I order the 9lb box for my miniature fuzzy lop Darla every two months or so. She absolutely loves it and will clean her hay rack out to the last piece. The packaging is easy to store and keep tidy. I do wish they had an airtight resealable top, but that’s mostly because I buy such large quantities for my little bunny and would like it to stay fresher longer.The only true “downside” to I’ve experienced is that when comparing the price to similar products, it’s one of the most expensive. Since I don’t have much experience with these competitors (Darla liked this hay so much I never needed to shop around) I can’t speak on the quality vs. pricing sliding scale there.I want to address some of the reviews complaining that the product is not consistent in quality. I’d suggest that it is not the quality that changes, but the texture and body of the Timothy hay. Hay is harvested in “cuttings”, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. For anyone curious, I’d direct you to West Meadow Rabbit’s video on YouTube on the difference between cuttings. Unless your critter is super picky, it shouldn’t make any significant difference to them or the hay’s nutritional profile. Otherwise, I’d suggest buying a hay product which specifies the “cut”.For example, my previous box resembled 3rd cut hay: it was darker in color, the strands were thinner, curlier and almost cotton-candy like, and the smell was potently sweet & like tea. There were few of the “fuzzy tops”, or seed heads, in this mix. My bunny likes this because of the sweeter taste and strong smell. My current box more closely resembles 1st cut hay: the stalks are more rigid, thicker, and a pale green color with lots of fuzzy seed heads that Darla goes crazy for. It just smells like normal hay, and does break into smaller pieces as you get to the bottom of the box along with a more noticeable buildup of dust. This is normal, especially when buying large portions as the fragile stalks get crushed in transit. My bunny enjoys munching along the straight stalks like we would slurp a spaghetti noodle.Again, both should be received well by your bunny so long as they aren’t super picky, and they shouldn’t have significantly different nutrition profiles so don’t let that deter you from seeing if they like this stuff! This brand and product as a whole is excellent, and in my opinion the change in texture is a good thing - no wasteful discrimination for superficial reasons (on a product which does not state cutting) and a natural variation.

Oxbow Timothy hay is the only hay I will use for our rabbit and guinea pigs. I wish people understood the importance of hay to these animals. It’s essential for their health/teeth. This big box lasts me longer at a better price!

I had been buying this hay for a couple months for my bunnies. I realized the texture was different in the latest bale, it looked more like grass and was pretty soft. After feeding this to my bunnies, one of them went into GI stasis. Wouldn't eat, wasn't moving- which is very dangerous for a rabbit. I took him to the ER for this. A week or two later my other bunny stopped eating. His poop got very dark and small. Nothing in their diets had changed from their norm. I started buying a different type of hay and I mixed it with the grass like hay- I was still unsure if the hay was the culprit. When I ran out of the second type of hay, I solely fed this bale of grassy hay for a week.... Small dark poops returned and my second bunny got sick again. It's definitely the change in the hay because they get a different kind now and haven't had any issues since switching. Hope this helps someone decide if they want to change up what they give now... Just be careful.

I have been purchasing from this brand for years. This has been a lifesaver and a cost effective way for me to feed 4 rabbits! I’ve been saving by buying in bulk. The hay is good quality and depending on the season, sometimes the hay will be softer and less crunchy. My rabbits eat both, they are just happy to have it. It smells nice and is fresh. I do keep the box outside and closed since I have a bit of allergies to the hay and I do recommend sorting like the directions state but most of the time, I don’t and still happy with results.

I've ordered the 9 lb box of timothy hay numerous times for my rabbit. It's a definitely a staple around here and my rabbit seems to enjoy it. They're healthy and eating well, so I'm pleased. I also like how economical and convenient it is. However, my my box of hay from a recent order was awful. It was dusty and hardly had any long strands of hay. I probably tossed over half the box because my rabbit wouldn't eat it and would just throw it around. I just got a new box and it's much better. I'll continue to buy this hay but keep in mind that it's not always consistent.

Amazing quality hay. Fresh. Not dusty. Good and flaky. Comes in a big plastic bag with air holes inside of a cardboard box. Great price for the quantity.
