Organic Meadow Hay
Our high altitude USDA Certified Organic hay is grown high in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, where the cooler nights make it grow more slowly, allowing more nutrients to develop. This slower growth also makes the hay softer and easier to chew and digest. It is an amazing source of nutrition for your small pet, including rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other little companions.
This organic meadow hay is fragrant, naturally varied, and gentle on digestion.
Nutritional Role: Provides a mix of soft and crunchy strands for balanced daily fiber.
Health Benefits: Supports dental wear, digestive stability, and enrichment through variety.
Feeding Guidance: Offer generous handfuls daily. Mix with orchard, timothy, or oat hay for enrichment.
