Is Oxbow Timothy Hay suitable for pets with sensitive digestion?

Yes, Oxbow Prime Cut Timothy Hay is high in fiber, making it an ideal choice for pets with sensitive digestive systems. Its fiber helps regulate digestion, maintaining healthy gut function and reducing risks of gastrointestinal issues that can occur in fiber-deficient diets.

How can I tell if my pet is eating enough Timothy hay?

Ensure your pet has unrestricted access to fresh Timothy hay, which should make up about 70% of their diet. Watch for consistent chewing and daily consumption. If your pet is not eating enough, check for signs of dental discomfort or consult a veterinarian for guidance.

What is the best way to store Oxbow Timothy Hay to keep it fresh?

Can Oxbow Timothy Hay help prevent obesity in small pets?

How do I introduce Oxbow Prime Cut Timothy Hay to a picky eater?

Start by mixing small amounts of Oxbow Timothy Hay with their current hay and gradually increase the proportion. The hay’s fresh scent and crunchy texture appeal to many small pets, encouraging natural foraging. Offering hay in different areas of the habitat may also boost interest and acceptance.
