Oxbow Western Timothy Hay, 2.55 kg

Recommend by my vet as the house bunny is so fussy with hay! Delivered quickly. Really good quality - long strands, fresh smelling and good colour. Pricy but worth it as so far he is eating some of it!

I buy this from time to time for my guinea pigs. It isn't something they would eat daily, so I tend to give it once a week. They do prefer the Oxbow Orchard Grass. If I don't give it too often they do enjoy it. It is always a good quality.

I’ve been really pleased with the Oxbow Western Timothy Hay — it smells fresh, has long green strands, and my rabbit absolutely loves it. It keeps him busy chewing and supports his digestion well. The only downside is that the bag can be a bit pricey and sometimes has some dust at the bottom, but the overall quality makes it worth it for my bunny’s health.

Very fresh hay that stays a healthy green colour for longercthan any of the other hays ive tried. Unfortunately it can get very dusty especially toward the bottom. This hay is also the worst hay to effect my hay fever, this could be acresult of the dustiness. My rabbits love this but as its making me ill im having to find an alternative. If you do not have hay fever or not allergic to timothy hay i would recommend this as it is very fresh. I found a few forums where people have the same issue with this exact hay and their allergies

Perfect bedding or food for your small animal

I bought this timothy hay for my two guinea pigs. I have tried a variety of different hays previously- the £1.50 bag from home bargains, the Pets at Home brand, the highly-rated Excel timothy hay and finally this one, the Oxbow. I would just like to say that this hay is amazing and by far the best of all my previous tests. It has a fresh, lovely smell, the hay is the greenest I have ever seen (by comparison the excel hay is nearly brown!) and my guinea pigs, after a small and fussy adjustment period, now literally jump for joy when they hear the bag rustling. My guinea pigs go through a bag of 1.1kg in around 10-14 days, so for cost effectiveness I've now decided to buy on subscription the 4kg bag! There are criticisms, however. The main two criticisms are: 1. THE PRICE. Ye Gods, I know you get what you pay for, but I'm a student and this amazing hay (which I'm certain is the best for my piggies) is really emptying out my pockets. Somebody should start a petition for a price drop or something. 2. THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG. The last 8th/10th of the bag is always just very fine, very tiny strands of less than 2cms, completely inedible to my guineas. For the price I would like to see the full bag loaded with long strands and nothing but long strands. To summarize, if you love your animals and you want the best hay around for them, Oxbow is easily the best supplier on the market!

Rabbit munched through this in no time

Initially when I first started ordering this I would chose the 1.1kg size & the quality of the hay was invariably very good. However, in order to be more economical, I decided to start ordering the larger sizes of 2.55kg or larger, assuming that it would just be a larger bag of the same soft, green hay. For some reason, the hay in the larger bags is far more coarse & straw-like & my guinea pigs tend to pick out the few finer bits & leave the coarser stuff which makes it rather wasteful. Also, I have found that even the quality within the 2.55kg bags can vary with the last bag I had being full of brown, not very appealing hay, which is even worse than the coarse, straw-like stuff! I am hence going to stick with the smaller bags - they may prove more expensive in the long-run but they seem to contain the finer quality hay.

Good

great food for a rabbit!
