"I got this hoping it would be less dusty than my feed store’s Orchard Grass. It comes in a VERY compressed brick. Hard to pry apart, and the strands are so short it’s like mulch. Very disappointing. My Guinea pigs need long strand grass for tooth health, so this was a waste."

Due to the high number of complaints about the hay disintegrating into dust, potential buyers should be cautious and possibly look for other brands.
