desertcart.com : High Desert Alfalfa Hay, Protein Rich Soft Leaf Food for Young Growing Animals, Natural Rabbit Food and Guinea Pig Hay, Supports Digestive Health, Small Pet Supplies, Fresh Hand, Pack of 2, 10 Lb Box : Pet Supplies

Review: FINALLY!! - My rabbits LOVE this alfalfa hay! When I opened the box I couldn't believe how fresh it looked (so green), and the smell was even fresher. My rabbits would barely eat the other stuff. They would pick through it. It was just so brown and dry looking. But when I started buying Dessert High, oh my goodness, they devoured it so fast that I could barely keep up with them!! So this is the hay I am buying from now on. Its not that much more if it makes my bunnies that happy!! At this time they are still under 6 month of age ( it's Jan 2026). We are on our 2nd box, and I just ordered our 3rd in the 10lb size.
Review: Doesn't trigger my asthma like store bought hay - 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.
