Detailed product description
What is Soft Orchard Grass? Soft Orchard Grass is high in fiber and low in both protein and calcium. It is the softest type of hay we carry and makes a great alternative if you or your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla are allergic to Timothy Hay. Soft Orchard Grass grows in clumps and has much longer blades of grass, minimal seed heads, very little brown leaf, and fewer stalks than other types of hay. This makes it much easier to chew and digest, which is why picky eaters and elderly rabbits tend to gobble Soft Orchard Grass up. As your small pet gets older, softer feed may become more and more of a necessity. Yet, it’s important to make sure they have some coarse hay in the mix to help them continue to have good dental health, this is why we recommend mixing in some Timothy Hay into your Soft Orchard Grass. Allergic to Timothy Hay? Orchard Grass is a great solution Allergies, especially to Timothy Hay are common (you aren’t alone!). Soft Orchard Grass can be a wonderful alternative for you and your small pet while still getting them all the important nutrients they need. In our experience, people who are allergic to Timothy Hay are less allergic to our Soft Orchard Grass. If you are feeding your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla exclusively Soft Orchard Grass we recommend you mentioning this to your vet so that they can keep an eye on their dental health. We also recommend that you invest in a few chew toys that will help wear down their teeth. 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. Soft 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. Hay for Your Picky Eater Do you struggle to get your small pet to eat hay? They’ll go crazy for our Soft Orchard Grass and gobble it right up. One of the reasons people and their small pets love Soft Orchard Grass is because it is the softest hay we carry. There are almost no seed heads and few stems, leaving just soft blades of hay, which makes it that much easier for your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla to eat. You’ll no longer have to worry about making sure that your picky eater is eating the amount of hay they need to have a healthy digestive system.
