"My rabbits normally drink 2nd-cutting Timothy Hay but I occasionally buy Oxbow Oat Hay as a treat for them. They enjoy and start eating it immediately. It contains a lot of extra Crunching, consequently probably perfect for wearing down their teeth."
"My 18 year old chinchilla would eat none of this no matter what. She didn't eat it alone - I bought some mixed in with other sorts. She couldn't touch it, so."
As a supplementary treat, Oxbow Oat Hay can still be a decent choice, especially for the oxbow's brand loyalty. However, consider the mixed reactions and potential quality concerns before purchasing.
