I have been purchasing from this brand for years. This has been a lifesaver and a cost effective way for me to feed 4 rabbits! I’ve been saving by buying in bulk. The hay is good quality and depending on the season, sometimes the hay will be softer and less crunchy. My rabbits eat both, they are just happy to have it. It smells nice and is fresh. I do keep the box outside and closed since I have a bit of allergies to the hay and I do recommend sorting like the directions state but most of the time, I don’t and still happy with results.

I’ve ordered 7 times so far and have had pretty consistent quality, with the exception of one. It didn’t have very many of the seed pods which our Guinea pigs like the most. They still ate the whole box worth and it was still good fresh hay but they just weren’t as excited until the next box came and had lots of seed pods again. Highly recommended.

For overall health, I’m always providing my guinea pigs with hay. They all seem to enjoy the taste of this brand, and I appreciate how it’s not all dust and crumbles like some other brands can be. It’s packed in there, so you get a good amount in the box.

I've been buying the large box of oxbow for about 3 years. The quality was good for a long time, but over the past year or so the quality has been getting inconsistent. But the last 6 or 7 boxes have been exponentially worse and worse, and the last three were horrendous.I finally switched to Small Pet Select. The hay they give is the best quality hay I've ever seen, better than oxbow has ever been by a mile. It's a little bit more expensive (though not much more) but it is way better. And i can set up subscribe and save through their site directly, no need to pay a certain mega company that starts with an "A" more money.The last few boxes of oxbow have been almost entirely chaff, dead stray fibers as thin as human hair with a little bit of green 3rd cut mixed in, chunks of roots, pieces of wood and LOTS of dust. I put my hay on a sifter before I give it to our buns so they don't have sneezing issues. And for the past 4 months or so, I am not exaggerating, 10 plus pounds of each 25lb box has been inedible dust and chaff that falls through the sifter. Disgraceful.This might be suitable for horses, but not for pet bunnies, one of the most delicate animals on the planet. Its shameful to charge this much money for trash. Also, for reference, I can count on one hand the number of negative reviews I've left in my life on a product.Dont be fooled if the first couple shipments are good. Don't wait and see if maybe the next one will finally be better, like i did for so long. Just switch to Small Pet Select.

The two stars are for the quick arrival for arriving the next day, but these last three batches were terrible. I understand it's randomly hand-picked. Though, do we really need to drop $50 for roots? I feel bad for my bunnies. They deserve better! Seriously will consider paying extra for kaytee in smaller quantities. Appalling!Edit:Today, I reluctantly opened the package and could immediately smell the fresh greens through the exterior box. It's absolutely stunning! The bunnies love it and I don't have to worry about them tossing it to the side for nesting material. They savor each piece and actually stay full. This is certainly a better batch and well worth it!

Our 3rd purchase and it was the same as the 2nd one, the packaging was different from the very first one we’ve purchased, hence the quality of the hay was not the cutting that the bunbuns used to eat. In addition, there were no seal or tape on the plastic containing the hay when you open the box. It’s a 50/50 not the original one.

I have been using oxbow for a very long time for my bunnies and it has been great quality. I have never had a box from oxbow where mybunnies did not eat it all! Only thing I would be aware of and warn people of is the delivery damage. My box is so damaged that I will have to find a new way to store the bag of hay since it looks like my box was beaten up.

All my rabbit’s hay , treats and meds(critical care) are from this brand the only thing i would say is that when you buy oxbow hay in smaller amounts its cut into smaller pieces and this box has the longest pieces ever so i have to actually manually cut in smaller pieces or else my bunny wont eat

Great quality product! I order the 9lb box for my miniature fuzzy lop Darla every two months or so. She absolutely loves it and will clean her hay rack out to the last piece. The packaging is easy to store and keep tidy. I do wish they had an airtight resealable top, but that’s mostly because I buy such large quantities for my little bunny and would like it to stay fresher longer.The only true “downside” to I’ve experienced is that when comparing the price to similar products, it’s one of the most expensive. Since I don’t have much experience with these competitors (Darla liked this hay so much I never needed to shop around) I can’t speak on the quality vs. pricing sliding scale there.I want to address some of the reviews complaining that the product is not consistent in quality. I’d suggest that it is not the quality that changes, but the texture and body of the Timothy hay. Hay is harvested in “cuttings”, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. For anyone curious, I’d direct you to West Meadow Rabbit’s video on YouTube on the difference between cuttings. Unless your critter is super picky, it shouldn’t make any significant difference to them or the hay’s nutritional profile. Otherwise, I’d suggest buying a hay product which specifies the “cut”.For example, my previous box resembled 3rd cut hay: it was darker in color, the strands were thinner, curlier and almost cotton-candy like, and the smell was potently sweet & like tea. There were few of the “fuzzy tops”, or seed heads, in this mix. My bunny likes this because of the sweeter taste and strong smell. My current box more closely resembles 1st cut hay: the stalks are more rigid, thicker, and a pale green color with lots of fuzzy seed heads that Darla goes crazy for. It just smells like normal hay, and does break into smaller pieces as you get to the bottom of the box along with a more noticeable buildup of dust. This is normal, especially when buying large portions as the fragile stalks get crushed in transit. My bunny enjoys munching along the straight stalks like we would slurp a spaghetti noodle.Again, both should be received well by your bunny so long as they aren’t super picky, and they shouldn’t have significantly different nutrition profiles so don’t let that deter you from seeing if they like this stuff! This brand and product as a whole is excellent, and in my opinion the change in texture is a good thing - no wasteful discrimination for superficial reasons (on a product which does not state cutting) and a natural variation.

Arrivato prima della data prevista e in ottimo stato.Lo uso per il nostro coniglietto nano che non riesce a consumare i denti, spero di risolvere con questo.Sono speranzosa anche perché è l’unico fieno che mangia con gusto.Lo consiglio anche perché non ha materiale di scarto a fine busta.

Since the beginning, I've always bought Timothy Hay for my rabbit. It's a very good hay with lots of fibre which your bunny needs. It helps their GI tract moving which is very important. Luckily, my rabbit just loves her hay and really eats lots of it. She also eats some of her Oxbow pellets too, but what she eats mostly is her hay. The hay comes compressed in a 9 lb. box. So you have to put some muscle into it to get a grab of the hay. It's easy to store and a very good price for the 9lb box. My rabbit can go through a 9 lb box in 3-4 months. So getting value for my money is important to me. Keeping your pet healthy with Timothy Hay will save you Vet visits. Glad to have found this hay on Amazon.
