Coarse Orchard Grass Hay, High-Fiber Daily Forage for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas and Small Herbivores

Coarse orchard grass hay has thicker stems and longer seed heads than soft orchard grass, creating a texture close to coarse timothy. It is intended for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small herbivores that benefit from more chewing resistance.

Because orchard grass is a different plant species from timothy, it may suit some pets or caregivers managing a timothy allergy. Consult your veterinarian and watch for symptoms when changing hay.

Key Features

• High-fiber grass hay supports healthy digestion, steady weight and natural dental wear as part of a grass-hay diet.
• Long strands support natural foraging, while visual inspection and hand packing help minimize dust and fines.
• Keep grass hay available at all times. Transition gradually by mixing the old and new hay over 7–14 days, then monitor appetite and droppings.
• Store in a cool, dry place with good airflow. Discard hay that smells musty, feels damp or looks unusually discolored.

Younger animals, nursing mothers and pets with health concerns may need different portions, so consult your veterinarian when unsure.
