Small Pet Select Alfalfa Hay for Young Rabbits & Guinea Pigs, 2.27 kg – US-Grown and Hand-Packed

Small Pet Select Alfalfa Hay is a 5 lb (2.27 kg) feed for young rabbits and guinea pigs, hand-packed from 100% US-grown alfalfa to provide extra protein, fiber, and fat.

• 5 lb box of alfalfa hay — provides a supply of hay for small pets.
• 100% US-grown and hand-packed in small batches — preserves the hay’s stems and leaves.
• Not compression-packed — helps maintain the hay’s natural structure and minimize dust.
• High in fiber — supports normal tooth wear and digestive health.
• Extra protein and fat — suits the nutritional needs of growing, pregnant, nursing, and some older pets.

Alfalfa hay is a nutrient-rich option for small pets that need more protein and fat than a healthy adult typically needs. It is made for young animals as they grow, as well as pregnant or nursing pets and some older animals that need extra care or encouragement to eat hay. Fresh hay offered daily helps keep it appealing to rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas.

Which small pets is this alfalfa hay for?

Small Pet Select Alfalfa Hay is intended for young rabbits and guinea pigs, and can also suit chinchillas and other small animals in life stages when extra nutrients are needed. Its protein and fat content supports growing bones and muscles in young pets and can help pregnant or nursing pets maintain weight. Some senior pets or pets recovering from illness may also benefit from the extra nutritional content or find the hay motivating at the hay box.

• Suitable for young, pregnant, or nursing small pets.
• Can suit some senior pets and pets recovering from illness.
• For healthy adult animals, offer it only as an occasional treat because of its high fat content.

How does the hay support teeth and digestion?

Small Pet Select Alfalfa Hay provides fiber that supports normal wear of ever-growing teeth and helps maintain digestive health. Hay is an important part of a young small pet’s diet, and offering it fresh each day encourages regular access to this fibrous food. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas should be offered fresh hay daily.

• Fiber supports natural chewing and tooth wear.
• Fresh hay helps keep the hay box appealing to your pet.

How is Small Pet Select Alfalfa Hay packed?

Small Pet Select hand-selects and packs the hay in small batches, then places it in a high-strength corrugated box. Unlike hay compressed in plastic, it is not compression-packed, which helps preserve the stems and leaves. The box is designed for easy storage and can also give pets a place to dig; the packing method helps minimize dust that can bother people sensitive to grass allergens.

• 100% alfalfa hay grown in the United States.
• Hand-packed to maintain the integrity of the hay and leaves.
• Small Pet Select offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for you and your pets.

This alfalfa hay is best suited to owners feeding young rabbits, guinea pigs, or other small pets that need extra protein and fat, as well as pregnant, nursing, or select older animals. Healthy adults are better suited to having it only occasionally because of its high fat content. Its US-grown alfalfa, hand-packed box, and fiber content make it a practical hay choice for the pets and life stages it is intended to serve.
