Pros

  • Chinchillas enjoy the blend of soft and hard textures, which is great for dental health.
  • Guinea pigs, like the user’s pet Henry, show a strong preference for the hay, especially when they are uninterested in other brands.
  • Rabbits typically find the hay appealing, almost as much as alfalfa hay.
  • Suitable for both feeding and nesting, giving it versatile use.
  • Regular users praise the blend for its consistent quality and strong brand reputation.
  • Good value for the price, especially for the appreciated 40 oz size that optimizes freshness.

Cons

  • Some wild bunnies refuse to eat it, signaling it might not suit all animals.
  • Recent batches have a strong smoke smell, negatively impacting rabbits' appetites and quality perception.
  • Rabbits might dislike the blend, particularly the Orchard Grass, leading to wastage.
  • One specific purchase was not as fresh, although pets still accepted it.

Bottom Line

The Oxbow Hay Blends - Western Timothy & Orchard - 40 oz is generally a hit among small pets like chinchillas and guinea pigs, due to its balance of soft and crunchy textures. However, some users have found recent batches to have an off-putting smell and discover that not all rabbits are fans of the blend. While the product is well-regarded for its quality and value, it's advisable to check the batch quality before feeding to ensure it matches your pet's preference.
