Soft Orchard Grass is the softest hay we carry, making it popular with picky eaters and is a great alternative if your small pet is allergic to Timothy Hay. It is high in fiber and low in protein and calcium.


Coarse Orchard Grass is a great alternative if your small pet is allergic to Timothy Hay. It's similar to First Cut Timothy Hay in texture while also being high in fiber and low in protein and calcium.

What is Ultra Premium Orchard Grass?

Orchard Grass is high in fiber and low in both protein and calcium content, which is ideal for keeping the digestive tracts of rabbits and other small animals functioning properly. Orchard Grass can be fed free-choice to your rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small animals, and should be a mainstay of any small herbivore’s diet. Free-choice feeding means that the hay is constantly available and the animals can balance their own diet, without increased risk of weight gain or digestion issues.

Two Types of Orchard Grass

Soft Orchard Grass

Coarse Orchard Grass

Why Hay is Essential

Grass hay is an important staple in the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas. For rabbits 7 months and older and guinea pigs 6 months and older, grass hay should make up 80% of their diet. For chinchillas older than a year, grass hay should make up 75% of their diet. The constant foraging and grazing encouraged by hay helps to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. It also helps to wear down their teeth while the long strand fiber helps to keep their digestion regular and functioning properly.
