The "Oxbow Oat Hay 425 gr" is a high quality feed for rodents and rabbits, hand selected to guarantee the best nutrition. This oat hay is harvested at an early stage of maturation, before the oats develop seed, to preserve the fiber-rich husks and stimulate the animals' appetite.
Its unique aroma and inviting texture encourage the consumption of hay, which is essential for the digestive and dental well-being of herbivores. Oat Hay is similar to Western Timothy in nutritional values, but is distinguished by the presence of immature oat grains, much appreciated by rabbits and guinea pigs.
This product not only varies the daily diet of animals, but also supports proper intestinal function and prevents dental disorders common in small herbivores. Sold in a handy 425g ventilated bag, the hay maintains a light green/brown color with visible oat husks, without containing mature oat husks, but still offering a flavor that animals love.
Product Description
Oxbow Oat Hay is an essential forage for the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small herbivores. Its composition is 100% wild oat hay, without preservatives or additives, guaranteeing a natural and healthy diet. Harvesting occurs at an early stage of maturation to ensure that the oat hulls are rich in fiber and not yet developed into complete seeds.
This harvesting process not only preserves the nutritional qualities of the hay but also enhances its flavor, making it irresistible for animals. The hay is packaged in a ventilated clear plastic bag which maintains its freshness and facilitates storage.
Nutritional Benefits
Oat Hay offers numerous nutritional benefits as it is rich in long fibre, necessary to stimulate the digestive system and improve the digestive and intestinal functions of animals. The fiber present also helps prevent common dental problems in herbivores, such as excessive tooth growth.
Hay contributes to a balanced and varied diet, which is essential for maintaining general health and well-being. The presence of immature oat grains adds nutritional variety that helps meet the specific dietary needs of each animal.
Feeding Instructions
Oat Hay can be freely administered to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other herbivores, both during growth and as adults. It is important to provide plenty of hay to ensure that animals can continually benefit from its fibrous and nutritional properties.
Hay should be a main component of the daily diet of herbivores, and Oat Hay is an excellent choice for enriching their diet and stimulating feeding interest.
Conservation and Safety
Oxbow Oat Hay is packaged in a ventilated bag which preserves its quality and freshness. It is important to store hay in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to keep its nutritional and organoleptic properties unaltered.
Make sure the bag is always tightly closed after use to avoid contamination and ensure that the hay remains clean and palatable for the animals.
