Highlighted Reviews

— Jessi

"I grabbed this as a treat for my chinchillas but they have enjoyed it so much, I give it to them more frequently than I had planned. I actually like that the hay is cut into smaller pieces as I can put it into their bowls. Smells great too!"

Bottom Line

While the smaller, minty hay pieces are convenient for serving, the product's dusty quality has been a dealbreaker to several - expect mixed feedback according to your pet's preferences and acceptance levels.
