FAQs - Oxbow Animal Health Western Timothy Hay

What is so special about Oxbow Western Timothy Hay?

Oxbow Western Timothy Hay is specially grown and hand-sorted for small herbivores, providing high fiber content for optimal digestive health and a natural texture that supports dental wear. Its sweet aroma and freshness enhance palatability, making it highly appealing to pets, while its quality control ensures safe, nutritious, and premium hay every time.

How does Timothy Hay benefit my pet’s teeth?

Timothy Hay's coarse texture requires pets to chew more thoroughly, naturally wearing down their continuously growing teeth. This helps prevent common dental issues like overgrown teeth and dental misalignment, which can be painful and lead to feeding difficulties.

Can I give my pet only Timothy Hay, or should I mix it with other hays?

Offering a variety of grass hays, like Meadow or Orchard Hay, alongside Timothy Hay adds diverse textures and flavors to your pet’s diet, stimulating interest and providing balanced nutrients. Mixing hays can also cater to pets with selective tastes, ensuring they receive adequate fiber intake.

Is Timothy Hay safe for young rabbits or guinea pigs?

Yes, Timothy Hay is safe for young rabbits and guinea pigs, but young pets often benefit from a higher-calcium hay like Alfalfa during early growth stages. Once they reach adulthood, Timothy Hay is ideal as it provides essential fiber without the high calcium that can lead to health issues in older pets.

How much Timothy Hay should my pet eat each day?

Timothy Hay should be freely available to small herbivores like rabbits and guinea pigs throughout the day. They typically consume hay equivalent to their body size daily, which supports continuous grazing for digestion and dental health.

Why is fiber important for small herbivores like rabbits and guinea pigs?

Fiber is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut in herbivores, as it promotes digestive motility and prevents gastrointestinal stasis, a common and dangerous condition. Regular fiber intake from Timothy Hay keeps the digestive system moving and aids in nutrient absorption.

How can I tell if the Timothy Hay is still fresh?

Fresh Timothy Hay has a greenish color and a naturally sweet, grassy smell. Dull, brown hay or a musty smell may indicate it’s stale or has begun to spoil. Store hay in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and quality for your pet.

Does Oxbow Western Timothy Hay contain any additives or preservatives?

Oxbow Western Timothy Hay is 100% natural with no added preservatives, additives, or fillers. It’s harvested, dried, and packaged carefully to retain its nutritional integrity, making it a pure and safe choice for your small pet.

How should I store Oxbow Western Timothy Hay to prevent spoilage?

Store Timothy Hay in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent mold and preserve freshness. Using an airtight container can further help maintain quality, but avoid sealing it too tightly to allow airflow.

Can Timothy Hay cause allergies in pets or pet owners?

Timothy Hay can trigger mild allergies due to dust or pollen content, particularly during feeding. If your pet shows symptoms like sneezing, consider sifting through the hay to reduce dust. For owners, using a mask while handling or selecting a low-dust version can reduce exposure.
