Organic Oat Hay
Blue Mountain Hay’s Organic Oat Hay is a high-fiber, nutrient-rich option that pets love to snack on. Grown without additives or preservatives, it offers clean, natural nutrition that sets it apart from conventional oat hay.
Nutritional Role: Oat hay is naturally high in fiber and provides essential nutrients to support a balanced diet for rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and other small pets. Its crunchy seed heads add variety and natural energy.
Health Benefits: Encourages chewing and foraging behaviors that support dental wear and reduce stress. Its fresh, flavorful strands keep pets engaged and satisfied.
Feeding Guidance: Offer generous handfuls daily as part of a hay-based diet. Mix oat hay with timothy, orchard, or meadow hay for variety, or include it in a custom bundle to keep your pet’s diet balanced and interesting.
