Alfalfa Hay - Dried Natural Alfalfa Hay for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, and Ferrets - Protein and Fiber Rich Food for Small Animals - Healthy Pet Food

This is not cheap alfalfa hay, so I was dismayed at the size of the box when it arrived. I needn't have been as we are only now running out--after 8 weeks. They really pack it into the box, so you get more than you think (compared to the big box alfalfa hay). You definitely get value for your money. I am back today to get on the subscription plan because this stuff is just SO.MUCH.BETTER than store bought. The quality is excellent with the hay being very fresh. It's weed free, bright green, smells lovely and has no off odors, mildew or mold. I have terrible allergies (which are not made happy by a guinea pig in the house!), but this hay does not trigger my asthma like dusty, store bought alfalfa does. And while there are wisps and straggly bits of plant material, there is very little dust. We use a tiny, wooden hay rick contraption to hold the hay, keeping it both contained as well as out of the shavings and poop zone. [Seen on Amazon, search "andwe Hay Feeder Less Wasted Wooden Food Feeding Rack for Rabbit Guinea Pig Chinchilla - Standing Pet-self Feeding Hay Manager"] Dumpling free feeds as he needs to, and seems very happy with his new alfalfa supply.

I was very upset with the quality of the hay. It was quite literally dust and the shortest pieces. Not leafy at all. My bunny was sneezing nonstop :/ I only got this since I ran out of my usual brand, so I only used this for a day. But my bunnies were not interested in this much at all. But shipping was very fast, so I was pleased with that!

Both of my guinea pigs did not care for this very much a little like a bunch of yard-raking's, poor condition.

Much smaller than I thought. Definitely won't buy again. Quality wise its just ok.

I did not feed any pets with this. I saw a video about this being added to bath water as a heavy metal detox. Somehow heavy metals are drawn out of the body and are attracted to the alfalfa. One will also need to submerge their head to detox that part of the body. One will need a blacklight to see the metals that come out of the body. They will appear as shiny specs. It really does work! If you see this review and wonder if you should try it, the answer is yes. I also installed a cheap drain cover over my bathtub drain to keep as much of this from going down my drain as as possible. I did not use a ton of this in my bath either. I used enough so that there were a few bits and pieces of alfalfa over the top of my bath water. I could probably get a couple hundred baths out of a 1 pound box.
