Long-strand timothy hay — the fiber foundation for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas
Our take
Herbivore small pets need unlimited grass hay more than fancy treats. Oxbow Western Timothy is the widely recommended adult staple: fiber for gut motility and chew time for teeth. Store sealed and dry; dusty bags get returned. Pellets are a supplement — hay is the meal.
Who it's for: Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas on adult grass-hay diets.
Skip if: Your vet prescribed alfalfa for a growing/juvenile pet — different hay class.
