Good quality hay
Its well packaged and a softer type of hay. It was fresh and all was good but my chinchilla did not like it. I have given him Timothy hay all his live so maybe that is why. It appeares fresh and softer than timothy hay for sure as well as thinner strands.

8 out 10 boxes are perfect!
I have purchased this hay consecutively for 4 years now and specifically 16 times over the past year. I have 4 guinea pigs who plow through hay. This hay is tasty and wonderful, HOWEVER, statistically… 2 out of every 10 boxes I’ll order is crappy. In the “bad boxes” the hay will be super super dusty and short making it extremely messy/dusty to use and undesirable to the pigs. It seems those “bad boxes” are the bottom of their bin/harvest. I wish the company would quality control those “bottom barrel” scraps and not sell them because i end up throwing the box away almost immediately due to unhappy pigs, the dusty mess, and uselessness. I will continue to buy their product but it’s a gamble. Unfortunately my last box was a waste of $28 – I attached the photo of the “short hay” and notice the intense dust along the bag! Overall the product is worth the money, but don’t be shocked if you get a “bad box”

Great hay!
this hay is great! I switched to orchard grass because my bunnies weren’t eating timothy hay very well. they MUCH prefer this and this box is huge and there was very little to no dust included in the box so the hay is less messy and lasts a while 🙂

Great value and guinea pig approved
This box seems to be a great value. My guinea pigs scream just as much when I go to give them more hay as they do when I cut vegetables or fill their food bowls, so it must taste great to them.

Do not recommend the 25 lb boxes
I hate to write this because I love Oxbow products, but the 25 pound hay boxes are a huge disappointment and waste of money.I started with Timothy hay in the 25 pound size and was extremely disappointed with the quality. A lot of very long, yellow, hard stems in there as well as an unbelievable amount of dust and pieces too small to use. My guinea pigs weren’t eating as much of it and there was so much that was wasted.So I decided to try the Orchard with hopes it would be better. No luck. Very dry with a lot of yellow and brown pieces. I though the dust and tiny pieces may be better since Orchard is usually less dusty to begin with, but no, just as bad.My husband has developed extreme allergies to the hay in the larger sized boxes because of all the dust and small bits. My guinea pigs are sneezing more when they’re in their hay piles and again, not eating as much of it.I had hoped to save some money with the larger size boxes since I have a herd of 8 guinea pigs, but I guess I’ll have to go back to the 9 pound boxes. I never had an issue with any of those, great quality every time.

USUALLY good quality
When it comes to quantity, Oxbow is my go to for Orchard Grass (since 2018). I’ve compared prices with other brands, and it’s the best bang for your buck if you want to buy bulk but stay within your budget. However, I’ve noticed the recent batches I’ve received haven’t been up to par with my standards, or my pets’ standards. My guinea pigs seem to tolerate our current bale, but my buns aren’t big fans. A lot of the bale is very dry and yellow/brown, as opposed to the greener and tender quality I’m used to getting from Oxbow. There were even a few tree sticks inside that gave me splinters, and in the order I got before this, I found little black specks. I’m not sure if it was mold, or something else, but it was worrisome and I reported it. Still, I’m going to give this hay another chance and hope I’ve just had some bad luck because Oxbow competitors are priced outrageously high just for 25 lbs of hay. Overall, I recommend giving this product a try if nothing else. Orchard grass in general is a fan favorite for my pets, even my very picky senior bun

Soft and lush!
This gay is the perfect mix of Timothy and orchard grass. Very soft and lush. My Guinea pigs love it.

Heel mooi groen hooi , grote zachte stengels en nauwelijks stof . Ook ideaal ik heb hooikoorts en hier heb ik geen last van . Cavia’s zijn er gek op en eten alles op. Ander hooi werd wel een beetje van gegeten maar veel bleef liggen en kon ik weggooien. Dus het is wel prijzig maar echt alles word opgegeten…. Ben hier zo blij mee 🙂

Hit and miss with any hay, depending on the season and crop. Sometimes the hay is bright green and fragrant and other times duller with brown stands.Too much dust and short strands, for such expensive hay, and the price is crazy for hay.I do favor oxbow or small pet select for orchard hay, much better for those with allergies and hayfever

Une horreur ! Tout le foin est compressé !Pourquoi ne pas avoir conservé l’ancien emballage où le foin était de qualité ?Là j’ai reçu 4 kg de miettes, c’est inadmissible ! J’ai dû mettre toutes ces miettes poussiéreuses dans 2 sacs plastiques, je les renvoie à Amazon pour remboursement, mais j’aimerai bien que Oxbow prenne ses responsabilités et me renvoie un foin de qualité, avec très longues tiges comme à l’époque avec Optinac !Je suis en colère et aussi déçue, que mange notre lapin en attendant ?
