Organic Meadow Hay for Small Pets

At first it didn't seem very fresh and I was worried they wouldn't like it. The product photos attempt to make it seem like the hay will be very green but in reality it's a brittle and dull hay. Other than that it did feel and smell like any other hay I've purchased, but my chinchis absolutely loved this hay. I tried adding in the other hay they ate before and they would just throw it around and play with it, but when I switched back to this one they ate it all and never played or wasted it so I guess they must really love it

I can’t say enough good things about Blue Mountain Organic Meadow Hay! My guinea pigs absolutely love it—it smells super fresh and has a nice mix of textures that keeps them busy and happy. You can tell it’s high-quality stuff, and I love that it’s organic and low in dust (huge plus for their breathing). It’s also been great for their teeth and digestion. Even my picky piggy digs right in. Honestly, this hay is a total win for both me and my guinea pigs!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Blue Mountain Hay for its price. I’ve tried a handful of other brands, both in stores and online, and this one stands out immediately for its freshness and the natural, sweet smell right when you open the bag. It smells like a true meadow, and my rabbits definitely noticed the difference—they dove into it right away.The hay is soft and leafy with a nice variety of textures. There's a great mix of green blades and fluffy seed heads, which my guinea pigs especially love to forage through. It looks and feels much more like real, natural forage than the overly processed or brittle hay I've gotten from other sources. You can tell this was grown and packaged with care.What impressed me the most was how little dust and crumbling there was in the bag. So many hays arrive mostly shredded, but this came with long, intact strands that are easier to stuff into hay feeders and create less mess around the cage. The packaging was simple but effective—no excessive plastic, and the hay retained its quality even after being stored for a week.My chinchilla is notoriously picky, and she usually turns her nose up at most hay unless it's ultra-fresh and fragrant. She immediately went for this one, and that alone earns it high marks in my book. Even my hamster, who typically uses hay more for nesting than eating, burrowed into it happily and seemed more engaged than usual.The fact that this is organic and grown at high altitude is a plus. I like knowing that what I’m feeding them isn’t packed with chemicals or grown in poor conditions. It mimics the variety and nutrition of wild forage more closely than plain timothy hay, making it a good supplement to their diet or even a mainstay depending on the pet.If I had one small critique, it’s that the 2.5-pound bag gets used up quickly with multiple pets, especially larger rabbits. I wish they offered a bulk option with the same quality so I didn’t have to reorder as frequently. Still, for the freshness and pet approval, it’s absolutely worth it.This hay is now in my regular rotation, and I can confidently recommend it to other small pet owners. Whether you’ve got rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, or even hamsters, this is a high-quality option that offers excellent nutrition and enrichment.

It’s always a win for the bun mom (me) when my bunny dives right into a new batch of hay without any hesitation – and this Blue Mountain orchard hay definitely passed the test. She’s usually a Timothy hay stand, but something about the soft, fragrant strands in this mix clearly hit the mark for her. I really appreciate how tidy and well-packaged it is. The 40-ounce bag is a perfect size, and unlike others I’ve tried, it doesn’t explode into a mess the second you open it. No weird dust or bits of debris either, just clean, green, fresh, high-quality hay that feels like it was actually selected with care. Definitely planning to keep this one in our regular rotation whenever I can. Highly recommend.

I got this hay for pet mice. They enjoy nibbling on hay and using it to build nests and hide areas. This was my first time trying this brand. I am very pleased with it. It is certified organic, looks and smells fresh, and also is clean without dust or bugs. The hay strands have a variety of thickness and softness. There are also heads of grass seed throughout, which mice get especially excited to find.
