Oxbow Alfalfa Hay is a high quality legume hay, ideal for rabbits and rodents. Rich in fiber and protein, it is particularly suitable for growing, pregnant or breastfeeding animals. This hay has a sweet flavor and soft texture that animals love. It is selected and packaged by hand, without the use of artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
Alfalfa hay is exceptional for young animals, thanks to its crude protein content, easily metabolised energy and a higher calcium content than any other forage. Furthermore, it offers all the calcium necessary for growing bones and represents a source of other important mineral salts, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc and selenium.
This hay can be used as an appetite stimulant when the animal is ill or recovering from surgery. It is also ideal for helping animals gain weight and giving shine to their fur.
Directions for use
Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas under 6 months of age can be fed Alfalfa hay daily. After 6 months of age, the animal should begin a gradual transition to 100% grass hays, such as Oat Hay, Western Timothy and Orchard Grass.
