## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for buns but is quite pricey for the amount you get
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 July 2017*

My two buns are rather fussy when it comes to hay so I was skeptical on buying this. They seemed pleased with this when I mixed it in with two other types of hay/grasses. It's quite a hardy hay so will help keep those back molars at a reasonable length. It smells lovely when you first open the packet but my only gripe is the 425g bag doesn't last long at all with two hungry rabbits and they're both dwarf! Overall good product and would purchase again but in moderation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and no waste
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 July 2019*

I have 5 house rabbits and a guinea pig, so we get through masses of hay. I have bought Oxbow for many years and I trust the brand completely. Jack rabbit (in the photo) has dental problems and he's very fussy about what hay he eats. But, this is his favourite. He loves to nibble it from a hayrack and also when he's in his litterbox. Rabbits like to eat when they're on the loo, so it's important to ensure they can access hay. I stuff a couple of handfuls in a corner and replenish when needed. Jack and my other bunnies eat every single bit, so although it is more money, this and the quality makes it worth every penny. This is a good quality hay, from a well renowned brand from the US and as long as I have rabbits and/or guinea pigs, I'll be an Oxbow customer!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bedding
