Description

Oxbow Alfalfa is a legume forage hay which is high in fibre with increased levels of energy, protein and calcium over grass hays. It is perfect for young and sick or recovering animals which need more concentrated nutrition. Once the animal reaches adulthood or recovers, their forage can be replaced with grass hay. Mixing Alfalfa with grass hay produces a rich, tasty, highly nutritious diet.

Feeding guidelines

Alfalfa Hay can be fed daily to growing animals as 25% of their total dietary intake. Adult animals should be limited to a small pinch as a treat.

Growing Animals (under 6 months) - Unlimited amounts, plus free choice grass hay
Mature Animals - Occasional small amounts
Nursing Females - Unlimited amounts in addition to free choice grass hay

Alfalfa Hay should only be offered carefully to mature rabbits, guinea pigs,chinchillas, and prairie dogs due to the higher protein and calcium content. Many vets believe that animals prone to kidney stones, bladder stones or calcium crystals in their urine should always avoid alfalfa.

Alfalfa Hay can be used to help animals gain weight and will give a nice shine to their fur
Elderly animals should be fed foods they enjoy, such as alfalfa, when considering quality of life
Alfalfa Hay can be used in small amounts as an appetite stimulant for thin or convalescing animals
Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas under six months of age can be given Alfalfa Hay daily
After six months of age an animal should begin a gradual transition to 100% grass hay such as Oat Hay, Western Timothy, Orchard Grass or Bunny Brome

Great!

By Rachel on 28 June 2016

I have 2 bunnies and they are nearly 4 months old, I read that they should be on alfalfa and initially purchased some alfalfa king bags. I really disliked the alfalfa king, it was so dusty and had been shredded too much so there was hardly anything for the buns to actually munch on. I then ordered 3 bags of this and it's so much better! It costs a little more but it's definitely worth it, if you're looking for alfalfa hay I'd recommend this one.

I sprinkle a small amount of this onto my buns normal hay and he goes mad for it - he eats a lot more hay now too which is great! Smells fantastic too!
