Oaten Hay Bale Compressed (LARGE SIZE) (Regional NSW & Interstate Only)
Oaten hay is vet-recommended as a great high-fiber food for all rabbits and guinea pigs, helping maintain digestive health. It should be given in addition to nutrient-dense foods like rabbit mix and pellets.
These oaten hay bales are compressed but not overly so to lose its natural texture. According to feedback from our customers, these bales are often superior to other oaten hay options and are especially well-suited for small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs.
Hay is an essential part of a rabbit's diet and should ideally constitute approximately 70% of their food intake.

2 of 2. There are no refunds if you are not happy with oaten hay quality. Everyone's definition of what is acceptable oaten hay is different and some rabbits are very fussy and we can't be held hostage to these subjective opinions.
