Product Description

The Oxbow Timothy Flowers chew is a fun-shaped treat built mostly from high-fiber Timothy hay, dressed up with marigold, rose, and cornflower petals. The petals add color and scent that tend to grab a pet's attention more than plain hay does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this chew made of?

Ans: It's made almost entirely of Timothy hay, with marigold, rose, and cornflower petals mixed in for color and scent. Everything used is 100% pet-safe and edible, so there's nothing to worry about if your pet eats through it eventually.

Q2: What animals is this chew good for?

Ans: This one works for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice. It's a nice way to give your pet something a bit different to chew on, on top of their regular hay-based diet, rather than a main food source.

Q3: Is this chew safe if my pet eats the petals?

Ans: Yes, the marigold, rose, and cornflower petals are part of the pet-safe, edible ingredients, so it's fine if your pet eats them along with the hay. There's no glue or non-edible material mixed in.

Q4: Can I give this to a young rabbit?

Ans: This chew has worked fine for young rabbits given in moderation, though it's still worth introducing any new chew gradually. Watch how they respond the first few times before offering it regularly.

Q5: How do I store this chew?

Ans: Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from moisture, so the hay and petals stay fresh and don't develop mold over time. Check it now and then, and replace it if it starts smelling off or looking damp before offering it.

Q6: Does this chew replace my pet's regular hay?

Ans: No, it's meant to add variety rather than serve as a main food source. Your pet still needs regular loose hay for their day-to-day diet, with this chew offered as more of an occasional extra rather than a daily habit.

Q7: How long will this chew last?

Ans: That depends on your pet's chewing habits. Some go through it within a day or two, while others take their time and make it last over a week or so. Either way, it's worth having a backup ready for when it's gone.
