Oat Hay - 15 oz
Share:
Oxbow Oat Hay is harvested before the oat develops into a seed the way small herbivores need it and like it! Oat Hay, like all grass hay, meets the nutritional needs of herbivores with high fiber and low protein. This appealing alternative contains savory husks full of both flavor and fiber, making it a favorite for many pets. Blend Oat Hay with other Oxbow grass hays to create a nutty-tasting and nutritious combination. The stage of maturity at harvest determines the development of the seed head. If the hay is harvested immaturely, at the early bloom stage, the actual oat kernel is not mature. The seed heads consist primarily of oat husks, which are rich in fiber. It is at this early stage that Oxbow harvests its Oat Hay . The result is light green/tan hay with flaky oat husks at the top. Although there is no mature oat kernel present, the hay smells like oats and guinea pigs and rabbits love it. Oat Hay is companion forage that is similar in nutritional analysis to the western timothy. Your animals will love the immature oat grain that is contained in the seed head and will benefit greatly from the fiber in the leaf and stem. Oat Hay is a good source of fiber and also gives variety to your animal's diet. This product also makes a good bedding alternative to wheat straw.

My two rabbits are kind of picky and they enjoy eating this hay as a treat! It is nice quality and well priced.
Both my buns love foraging through this hay.
Our bun likes this hay. Thanks to Binky Bunny for a good selection of hay.
Great product. My bunny loved it
My rabbit turned up her nose at this oat hay when it was in her hay feeder, so I used it to line her little box. My rabbit disliked this oat hay so much she pulled it out of her litter box and kicked it out of her pen completely!
I didn't like how tiny the hay pieces were.
My bunny gets really excited when I open the bag! Will definitely be purchasing again.
My girls hop all around when I'm opening the bag! They bury their faces in the pile I put on their snack matš
This fresh, oaty smelling hay is great for mixing it up. I mix it with Timothy to give my bun a change and he loves it!
I have one bunny that does not like the timothy hay so I was told to try this one. She seems to like it pretty good so far.
I have tried both the Oxbow oat hay mini bale and the loose oat hay bags and must say I love the sun cured mini bale more! My bunnies like both, but the mini bale was a real hit and they literally ate every blade whereas the loose hay got a bit scattered. Both are good! But I'm going back to the mini bale. :)
I have two bunnies: one hay eater and one non-hay eater. Of course, the non-hay eater has been ordered by the vet to eat more hay.
They get orchard grass regularly, but the non-hay eater isn't overly excited about it. They both loved the oat hay, but they also loved the botanical hay and the mini bale blue grass hay. That' s right, I have four types of hay in my house right now. Most importantly, I have never seen the non-hay eater bunny eat so much hay!
Oat hay is our bunny's favorite. Delivery is always bunny quick so she always a happy bun.
I use this as a topper on my buns Timothy Hay. They race to the
hay and get all excited when I use this. They love it!
I have a very picky eater, my dwarf bunny would not eat timothy hay at all, so I bought three different kids of OxBow hays (Oat, Organic Meadow and botanical) and he loves them all. We rescued him from a shelter, so I didn't know what he liked to eat. I am so thankful he liked this stuff, otherwise I had no idea what to do.
One of my bunnies is a chewer. She smelled the chuck of willow tree but no chewing yet. The other two bunnies just ignored it.
My bunnies love this stuff and so do I. One of my bunnies is not fond of loose hay but he likes this.
I thought this might be a nice supplement to their Timothy Gold hay but no luck. They really don't care for it. All they want is more Timothy Gold hay. They love that.
Scooter seems to like the oat hay pretty well although I've noticed he usually leaves the oat grain heads(?) which is the part I thought he'd like the best. I actually bought this to use as a treat in place of the dried willow twigs that were out of stock at the time, so even though he doesn't get all crazy for the oat hay like he does for the willow twigs, it's still a nice change in hay flavor and texture for him.
My bun had a severe case of poopy butt, and it was recommended to me that I use this to help treat her digestive woes. This along with changing up her diet a bit seems to have cured the problem. Plus, she is addicted to these things and is pretty much chomping at the bit as soon as I take the cap off the bottle.
My girl loves this stuff. I just put a handful on top of her timothy and orchard grass hay to mix things up a bit. the texture is quite different, so it provides a nice variety for her.
Bunnies love this! It's non-dusty and smells fragrant. Wheat hay is amongst the popular items for them.
