FAQs
What types of animals is this product suitable for?
This product is suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus.
How much hay should I give my pet daily?
Hay should make up the majority of your small pet's diet. While these cookies offer convenience, consult with a veterinarian or small animal nutritionist for specific daily portion recommendations based on your pet's species, age, and health.
Can these hay cookies replace loose hay entirely?
While highly nutritious and beneficial, they are often considered a convenient supplement or primary hay source. It's always best to ensure your pet has constant access to adequate fibre. For some pets, a combination or primarily loose hay might still be recommended.
What is the shelf life of these hay cookies?
When stored in a cool, dry place and sealed properly, the hay cookies should remain fresh for an extended period. Check the packaging for an expiry date.
Are these hay cookies dusty?
No, the product undergoes barn drying, warm air drying, and dust extraction processes to minimize dust and allergens, making it a cleaner option than some loose hays.
What are the main ingredients?
The main ingredients are Meadow Grasses and Meadow Herbs. The product contains over 20 different nutritious grasses and meadow plants.
How do I introduce these to my pet?
Introduce new foods gradually over several days. Offer a small amount mixed with their current hay or diet to allow them to adjust.
Troubleshooting
Pet is hesitant to eat the hay cookies.
Pets may need a few days to adjust to new foods. Try offering a small amount alongside their usual hay or familiar treats. Ensure the cookies are fresh and have been stored correctly.
Hay cookies seem too dry or crumbly.
This can occur if exposed to air for too long. Ensure the packaging is properly sealed after each use. If excessively dry, they can be slightly dampened with water, though this is generally not necessary.
Pet is not drinking enough water.
Always ensure fresh, clean water is readily available in a sipper bottle or heavy dish. Monitor your pet's water intake, especially when introducing new dry foods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: These hay cookies are specifically formulated for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. Always introduce new foods gradually into your pet's diet.
