Product Description
Oxbow Western Timothy Hay is the gold standard of small animal grass hays and the most widely recommended hay by veterinarians worldwide. Grown on Oxbow's family of farms in the American West and hand-sorted to ensure exceptional quality, this fragrant, long-stem grass hay provides the critical fiber that small herbivores need for healthy digestion and continuously growing teeth. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, gerbils, hamsters, and other small herbivores should have unlimited access to quality grass hay every day — and Oxbow's Western Timothy Hay is one of the best choices available.
Timothy hay's naturally high fiber content promotes healthy gut motility, preventing dangerous GI stasis and supporting a robust digestive environment. Chewing long-stem hay also provides the necessary dental wear that keeps a small pet's continuously growing teeth at the proper length. Oxbow's rigorous quality process — which includes field evaluation, bale-by-bale grading, nutritional testing, dust extraction, and hand-sorting — ensures every bag delivers consistent color, texture, aroma, and nutritional value.

Timothy Grass Hay
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.
