Orchard Grass Hay, 4.5 kg

The hay is fresh, smells amazing, has very little dust, and is consistently high quality. More importantly, my bunnies actually eat it instead of dramatically pulling out every strand, inspecting it like Gordon Ramsay, and throwing half of it on the floor in protest. Let’s be honest though. About 40 percent gets eaten. The other 60 percent somehow becomes interior decorating. Nest? Hay Bed? Hay. Favorite napping spot? More hay.

It is so green and lovely! Our guinea pigs love it so much! We couldn't find better quality hay anywhere. We are very happy with it and will continue to purchase it when it runs out!

Love this hay! Recommended if you're looking for hay that lacks seed heads and/or isn't Timothy (Phleum pratense). I'm putting in a second order after I type this review and will update if anything is substantially different, next round -- but I know hay is a natural product and there will be variation. Below, I'll address shipping speed, how long this lasted for our animals, and storage; then characteristics of the hay itself and our allergies. Super fast shipping. I bought the 10 lb. box on September 30 and started using it when it was delivered three days later, on October 3. This supply has lasted my small lop bunny (not a high-volume hay eater) nearly three months. During that time, I fed small amounts of some other types of hay a few times, but there were also serious incursions by my daughter's two voracious visiting buns, who are HUGE hay eaters. When this hay arrived, I re-boxed it right away into two Sterilite 56-qt plastic-lidded storage boxes, leaving some in the original cardboard box. Obviously, volume depends on how you compact or don't, but that should give you a rough idea of how much hay this was. Very economical. Yet at the end of three months, stored in a cool and dry basement, it's still fresh-smelling and bun-attracting. (The opening of a big bin of hay is an exciting moment in any rabbit's life, as you may know. Naturally, THAT stuff is far more fascinating than whatever's been in your litter box since this morning.) Per the description -- do read it -- this hay is from a cutting that lacks seed heads. Compared to Kaytee Timothy Hay (or others), this orchard grass hay is much softer, without all those sharply cut ends that poke my hands, making my skin itch between supplying buns and washing up. The grass strands are much longer, greener, and flatter. They're a bit like paper Easter grass, yet still a bit wiry to help wear down rabbit teeth. Enough? I'm not sure. Your vet could advise, or see House Rabbit Society's "Hay in Your Bunny's Diet." Little Furry Man has not complained about lack of seed heads, transferring his loyalty from mostly Timothy Hay to this orchard grass without complaint. Mixed results on the asthma and allergy front: my spouse noticed no difference, but I'm much happier, with a lot less sneezing. Less dust on the bottom than with Kaytee Timothy Hay (and others).

This is my go-to when it comes to hay! It's always amazing quality and nice and green! Which when it comes to Orchard hay is SO hard to find. I have hayfever which makes handling Timothy hay difficult so I opt for this instead because it hardly effects me at all. 100% recommend this for anyone with bad allergies. I'll happily keep buying from this family run business. Not only do they provide high quality products but they're educated on the small animals they provide for too which is refreshing.

Guinea pug loves it!!! Great product!
