Detailed product description
What is Coarse Orchard Grass? Coarse Orchard Grass is high in fiber and low in both protein and calcium. It’s very similar to First Cut Timothy in texture, making it perfect if you or your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla are allergic to Timothy Hay but are still looking for a coarse style hay to help with their teeth and digestion. Coarse Orchard Grass provides a strong balance of roughage and nutrition for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. Its larger seed heads, leaves, and stems make it coarser providing long strands that promote natural chewing behavior. It’s an important staple of your rabbit’s diet because it helps wear down their teeth. The long strand fibers also helps to keep your rabbit’s digestion regular and functioning properly. Allergic to Timothy Hay? Orchard Grass is a great solution Allergies, especially to Timothy Hay are common (you aren’t alone!). Coarse Orchard Grass can be a wonderful alternative for you and your small pet while still giving them all the important nutrients they need. In our experience, people who are allergic to Timothy Hay are less allergic to our Coarse Orchard Grass. While many veterinarians recommend Timothy Hay as the best type of hay, Orchard Grass is a good substitute if you or your small pet have issues with Timothy Hay. We are dedicated to making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well fed even when allergies are an issue. Why Hay is Essential to Their Diet For rabbits 7 months and older, grass hay is an important staple of their diet. While pellets and some vegetables may be safe for young bunnies, and as occasional treats for mature rabbits, grass hay should make up 80% of their diet. This most closely resembles the natural feeding habits of rabbits in the wild and promotes proper digestion and dental health. The constant foraging and grazing encouraged by hay helps to keep rabbits physically active and mentally stimulated. Orchard Grass is high in fiber and low in both protein and calcium content, which is ideal for keeping the digestive tracts of rabbits and other small animals functioning properly. Coarse Orchard Grass can be fed free-choice to your rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small animals, and should be a mainstay of any small herbivore’s diet. Free-choice feeding means that the hay is constantly available, and the animals can balance their own diet, without increased risk of weight gain or digestion issues.

One of the reasons people and their small pets love Soft Orchard Grass is because it is the softest hay we carry.
