Details
Orchard Grass is a green, fruity hay smell that many small animals enjoy.
To the inexperienced eye, it looks identical to a rat tail, but the seed heads have a different shape.
Orchard Grass is a cold season perennial herb with flat leaf blades.
The leaves vary in color from green to blue-green depending on the maturity of the plant.
The lower surface of the leaf is not shiny; and leaf sheaths may be somewhat rougher to the touch of Timothy.
Orchard Grass is recommended by veterinarians for small herbivores due to the nutritional content.
Orchard Grass can be mixed with other grass hays when feeding your pet.
This is encouraged because animals seem to like variety.
Mixing your grasses will encourage them to eat more hay, which is beneficial for the animal's health.
Hay is absolutely vital for the health of small herbivores.
Orchard Grass also provides a source of long strand fiber which is needed to improve digestive and intestinal functions by stimulating the digestive system.
When animals are fed hay at will, it promotes their natural chewing, which helps prevent molar spurs and other dental problems that are so common in these small herbivores.
