Orchard Grass Hay Pet Food for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas and Other Small Animals, Premium Natural Hay Grown in The US, 10lb (4.54kg)

It is so green and lovely! Our guinea pigs love it so much! We couldn't find better quality hay anywhere. We are very happy with it and will continue to purchase it when it runs out!

This is my go-to when it comes to hay! It's always amazing quality and nice and green! Which when it comes to Orchard hay is SO hard to find. I have hayfever which makes handling Timothy hay difficult so I opt for this instead because it hardly effects me at all. 100% recommend this for anyone with bad allergies. I'll happily keep buying from this family run business. Not only do they provide high quality products but they're educated on the small animals they provide for too which is refreshing.

Why did you choose this product over others?: The nicest hay going. It's fresh and green, and generally speaking there is no waste as the guinea pigs eat it all everyday. Expensive? Yes compared to some, but so worth the money. It's such good quality hay.

Excellent customer service and superior hay. My rabbits are fussy and they love this.

Item is great it's the delivery that's the issue nearly 2 months behind on subscription

Although the hay seemed excellent quality and my Guinea piggies enjoyed it, I must have had a bad batch as it had loads of what looked like thistles / brambles / thorns. I kept on getting tiny thorns stuck in my hands as I tried to take it out and make sure it was safe for my Guinea pigs. Very unpleasant being scratched/ spiked. Took forever each time I filled up their hay as I was scared they might get hurt if I left any in there. I’m in a piggie group online who say this is very unusual for this company, so hopefully it won’t happen again, but it was disappointing. This type of ‘orchard’ hay also seemed to have very sharp edges which made me worry more about hay poke and it also has a very strong smell which I didn’t like as the piggies are in our lounge, so I’m going back to Timothy Hay, which I’ll try from the same company ad I’m sure it will be excellent quality, but I won’t be happy if it’s full of thorns again! Hopefully not!

hay is nice and my piggies love it but i got these rock inside the hay every time, like padding the weight probably? anyways the hay is super good

This was my second product from Small Pet Select. After trying the Alpha Hay which took my bunnies a few days to get used to eating it the box was soon empty. I then tried the Orchard hay for them and they got straight into it. Smelled fresh and leafy strands so it really gives them something nice to chew. Certainly would buy again and will be trying some of their other products

J'ai acheté ce foin pour mes cochons d'inde. Elles l'adorent ! La qualité est très bonne, la livraison rapide. Je le recommande.

Tried the brand as it was cheaper then oxbow and oxbow has been crappy lately in my area. I am very impressed smelled amazing before I even opened the box and the guinea pigs went nuts as soon as i put the box in their room. Soft green hay. Perfect for guinea pigs.

Ottimo aspetto, i miei coniglietti lo hanno mangiato di gran gusto. Lo consiglio vivamente. Mi aspettavo fosse di qualità ma comunque rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa...

Hunny loves orchard hay. There are several brown strands of hay which she won’t eat. I love the smell and I’m not allergic as I am with Timothy hay. It’s a win win for both os us!!!

Love this hay! Recommended if you're looking for hay that lacks seed heads and/or isn't Timothy (Phleum pratense). I'm putting in a second order after I type this review and will update if anything is substantially different, next round -- but I know hay is a natural product and there will be variation. Below, I'll address shipping speed, how long this lasted for our animals, and storage; then characteristics of the hay itself and our allergies. Super fast shipping. I bought the 10 lb. box on September 30 and started using it when it was delivered three days later, on October 3. This supply has lasted my small lop bunny (not a high-volume hay eater) nearly three months. During that time, I fed small amounts of some other types of hay a few times, but there were also serious incursions by my daughter's two voracious visiting buns, who are HUGE hay eaters. When this hay arrived, I re-boxed it right away into two Sterilite 56-qt plastic-lidded storage boxes, leaving some in the original cardboard box. Obviously, volume depends on how you compact or don't, but that should give you a rough idea of how much hay this was. Very economical. Yet at the end of three months, stored in a cool and dry basement, it's still fresh-smelling and bun-attracting. (The opening of a big bin of hay is an exciting moment in any rabbit's life, as you may know. Naturally, THAT stuff is far more fascinating than whatever's been in your litter box since this morning.) Per the description -- do read it -- this hay is from a cutting that lacks seed heads. Compared to Kaytee Timothy Hay (or others), this orchard grass hay is much softer, without all those sharply cut ends that poke my hands, making my skin itch between supplying buns and washing up. The grass strands are much longer, greener, and flatter. They're a bit like paper Easter grass, yet still a bit wiry to help wear down rabbit teeth. Enough? I'm not sure. Your vet could advise, or see House Rabbit Society's "Hay in Your Bunny's Diet." Little Furry Man has not complained about lack of seed heads, transferring his loyalty from mostly Timothy Hay to this orchard grass without complaint. Mixed results on the asthma and allergy front: my spouse noticed no difference, but I'm much happier, with a lot less sneezing. Less dust on the bottom than with Kaytee Timothy Hay (and others).
