Product Description
Oxbow Oat Hay is a unique, crunchy-textured grass hay harvested at precisely the right time — before the oat develops into a seed — to preserve the savory husks that small pets love. This early harvest gives Oat Hay its distinctive texture: a satisfying crunch combined with a pleasant, earthy-sweet aroma that stimulates appetite and encourages hay consumption. It's a favorite variety for many rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, particularly pets that may be picky about softer hays.
Like all Oxbow grass hays, Oat Hay delivers the high fiber content essential for daily digestive health and continuous dental wear in small herbivores. Its different texture and aroma compared to Timothy or Orchard make it an excellent variety to introduce alongside other grass hays to prevent picky eating and enrich your pet's daily foraging experience. Available in a 15 oz bag.

Feeding Directions
Place large handfuls of grass hay in your pet's habitat daily. Hay should make up approximately 70% of your small herbivore's daily diet. Mix different grass hays together to enrich your pet's diet and prevent picky eating. Try all tastes and textures to discover your pet's favorites. Fresh, clean water should always be available.
The Oxbow Difference
For decades, Oxbow has partnered with a family of farms to grow the freshest, softest, most fragrant hay specifically for small pets. Every bale goes through Oxbow's proprietary quality process: inspected, graded, nutritionally tested, hand-sorted, and hand-packed. Third-party nutritional and food safety testing, plus organoleptic analysis assessing odor, flavor, appearance, and texture, ensures every bag meets the highest standards before it reaches your pet. The result is hay that's consistently fresher, cleaner, and more palatable than standard options.
Veterinarian recommended worldwide. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Expert-grown in the USA on Oxbow's family of farms.
