Small Pet Select Orchard Grass Hay, 10lb (4.54kg)

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.

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.

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

I have ordered this with no problem before and my rabbit loves it but for some reason I have had alfalfa sent to me twice instead of orchard grass, which of course my grown rabbit cannot eat. I have tried to return it but keep getting told it isn’t eligible for return. I’m really disappointed as getting decent hay around here is hard and my rabbit is suffering as a result of this continued error.

Good product but lots of dust and very small cuttings at the bottom of the box, which is unnecessary. Clearly supplier is not wanting to ‘waste’ anything.

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

Always order hay from small pet select and they never disappoint, the hay is a great quality and very little dust, nice and green and smells amazing. My piggies love it, lots of popcorning when I put out fresh hay!

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...

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).

I have 2 guys with, shall we say, refined palates when it comes to hay. My buns didn't care for the second cut timothy hay this brand sells but I decided to give this a go before switching to a different brand. They were digging at the box before I even opened it! I think its safe to say they like it. This orchard grass hay paases the test for my divas. Definitely added to our regular orders.
