Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the Oxbow Timothy Club Timothy Mat made from?

Ans: The Timothy Club Timothy Mat is hand-woven using 100% premium timothy hay, without any added chemicals, wire, or thread. Every strand comes together into a natural, high-fiber bed, allowing small pets to rest, chew, and forage using nothing but the woven hay material used throughout the product line.

Q2: Which small pets is the Timothy Hay mat suitable for?

Ans: The manufacturer's own product listing names rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, gerbils, hamsters, and rats and mice of various ages as suitable species. Small herbivores of varying sizes can use the mat as a comfortable resting spot that also supports natural chewing and foraging behavior throughout the day.

Q3: Can pets eat the Timothy Club mat, or is it just for resting?

Ans: Small herbivores can eat the mat safely, since it's designed to be 100% edible from edge to edge. Pets often use it for both purposes at once, resting on it throughout the day while gradually chewing through the woven timothy hay strands over time.

Q4: Does the hand-woven mat contain any wires, threads, or chemicals?

Ans: The mat is entirely free of chemicals, wire, and thread, relying purely on woven timothy hay strands for its structure. This chemical-free construction supports safe chewing, since pets can consume the material without encountering synthetic components or additives of any kind.

Q5: How does the Timothy Club mat support natural pet behavior?

Ans: Hand-woven timothy strands give pets something to dig, tear, and chew on throughout the day. The Timothy Club is built around that kind of natural foraging behavior, giving pets daily variety in what they interact with in their habitat.

Q6: Should the Timothy hay mat replace a pet's regular hay supply?

Ans: Pet owners should treat the mat as a supplemental fiber source rather than a full replacement for daily hay feeding. Monitoring how much a pet consumes from the mat alongside their usual hay and pellets helps maintain a balanced overall diet across the full week.

Q7: How should the Timothy Club mat be cared for before use?

Ans: All packaging materials and the enclosed desiccant packet should be removed before placing the mat inside a pet's habitat. If cleaning becomes necessary, the mat can be washed with cool water and dried outdoors in direct sunlight, which helps preserve its natural hay fibers over time.
