"It is the first hay product that my bunny will eat. Got so many only to have to throw them away because he wouldn't eat."

β€” Helaina

"It must be because it's Western Timothy hay? I don’t understand why my rabbit hates it. She won’t eat it, instead she pulls the whole thing apart and the whole stack is in a huge pile under her cage. I bought two boxes and can’t use them now. She eats regular Timothy hay no problem."
