Alfalfa Hay Oxbow

Oxbow Alfalfa Hay is a high-fiber legume hay with the same long-strand fiber found in grass hays, but with more protein, energy and calcium. This hay is perfect for young or lactating animals that need concentrated nutrition. The succulent taste stimulates the appetite of ill or post-surgical animals. Once an animal reaches adulthood or completes recovery, this nutritious forage should be replaced with a grass hay.

For Adults, you can use Alfalfa Hay as a treat: Mix it with any other Oxbow grass hay, and ut creates a rich, flavorful and nutritious treat. Use the mix to fill up treat balls such as the "Empty Grass Ball",

More info about Alfalfa Hay: Alfalfa Hay is a high-fiber legume forage hay that is sometimes called the "Queen of Forages". It differs from grass hays such as timothy, orchard grass and brome in the leaf, stem, and root structure. Alfalfa Hay is legume hay and the protein, calcium and energy content are higher than in grass hay. Because we take special care and bale at night, you will find that Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay have a soft stem with the leaves attached.

Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay is an outstanding feed for young animals. It contains more crude protein, digestible energy, and calcium levels than any other forage. In addition, it has the fiber content needed for normal digestive functioning. Alfalfa provides the essential calcium necessary for growing bones. Alfalfa is also a source of important minerals, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc and selenium.

Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay should not be fed to all animals. But if used carefully, in certain situations, it can be a valuable tool in nutritional management.

Due to it's succulent taste, Oxbow's Alfalfa Hay can be used as an appetite stimulant when an animal is ill or for post surgical patients. Because it is high in fiber, a small pinch can be given as a treat.

Positive Rating Mom and babie buns love this!!!
From Anonymous of Miami, Florida on 8/1/2012.

I bought this hay for a Mom bunny of 3 babies. All of them devour this hay the second I put it in! It is so fresh and green! Thanks BinkyBunny!!!

Positive Rating Your rabbit will go crazy for this!
From Andreea Szilagyi of London, Ontario on 7/18/2012.

I'm not sure what it is about Oxbow alfalfa hay but my bunny goes crazy over this! I had previously got him a different brand of alfalfa hay and he wasn't too enthused. With Oxbow, I will put a couple handfuls in his cage and by the next day my bun will have eaten all of it! Definitely worth a try!

Positive Rating Great!
From K. Cruz of Spearfish, South Dakota on 5/27/2012.

I have a recovering piggy that simply loves eating this hay. I'll keep feeding it to her until she is back to normal. In the meantime, I can feel good that she's getting the nutrition she needs to becoming healthy again.

Positive Rating Negative Rating Disappointed
From Tricia Garrett of Milan, Indiana on 4/11/2012.

I was disappointed because there is so much hay "dust" and very little hay in the bag. Not worth the money, and I won't buy it again. That being said, I love Binky Bunny and I don't hold them responsible for the product they receive from Oxbow. Just a bit disappointed in Oxbow.
