Oxbow Animal Health - Alfalfa Hay

TL;DR: Oxbow Animal Health Alfalfa Hay is a soft, leafy forage for small herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas who need extra fibre, protein, and calcium. It's best suited to young, pregnant, nursing, or recovering pets, and comes in a 40 oz resealable bag.

Oxbow Animal Health Alfalfa Hay is a nutrient-dense forage, hand-sorted for quality and packed to stay fresh. Its naturally sweet aroma and tender leaves encourage steady chewing, which supports dental wear and healthy feeding habits.

Because alfalfa is higher in protein and calcium than grass hays, it's typically fed to small animals in developmental or high-demand life stages rather than as the everyday hay for adult pets.

Specifications

Who is it for?

Oxbow Animal Health Alfalfa Hay is suited to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small herbivores with elevated nutritional needs — typically young growing pets, pregnant or nursing mothers, and animals recovering from illness. Adult pets in maintenance can also enjoy it as an occasional palatable topper alongside a grass-hay staple.

Will goats eat alfalfa hay?

Goats and other livestock will readily eat alfalfa hay, but this 40 oz bag of Oxbow Animal Health - Alfalfa Hay is portioned for small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas rather than as a feed-barn supply.

Feeding & use

Offer fresh alfalfa hay daily in a clean hay rack or feeder, and always provide unlimited fresh water alongside it. Store the resealable bag in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness and aroma.

For most adult small herbivores, pair or transition to a grass hay like Oxbow Animal Health - Western Timothy Hay or Oxbow Animal Health - Prime Cut Hearty & Crunchy Timothy Hay as their everyday forage, using this Oxbow Animal Health alfalfa hay as a supplement.
