Oat Hay

Need a little something to perk up your animala??s hay appetite? To keep things interesting, oat hay is a great addition to your rotation. Serve by itself, or mix it with Timothy hay. Remember, our little animals naturally eat a wide variety of grasses, so they sure appreciate variety. 'Oh, what's this new texture? Mmmmm, different taste, too. Is this what love feels like?!a??

Oat hay is yellowish in color, stemmy, and has some oat attached. (Longer hay strands, too, compared to other types.) The amount of oats and tops vary depending on the crop. Ita??s also high in fiber and protein, and the complete package for an animal who needs to gain a few ounces. If youa??re wondering how oat hay compares to other types of hay, wea??re here to help. We explain many of the different types of hay here, but to summarize, the most common types are Timothy hay (1st, 2nd, and 3rd cutting), alfalfa hay, orchard hay, and oat hay. Different types of hay have different characteristics, so ita??s important to understand the profiles of each to meet your peta??s needs.
