So, I work right by a little local pet store and they offer the oxbow line of hays. Usually I only get two types of hay Alfalfa and timothy. I noticed though, there were quite a few of them to choose from! Are they all safe for chinchillas? After I buy 6 bags of hay, I get a 7th free and thought maybe I will try one of the others as a treat or something. (Since that's what I do with the Alfalfa.)
The bolded ones are the ones I normally buy.
Timothy Hay - Basic staple hay
Orchard Grass - stimulates digestion and prevents obesity.
Brome Hay - Aids in digestion - Earthy flavor
Oat Hay - Crunchy texture - Nutty flavor
Alfalfa Hay - Good for young or lactating animals. Has more protein and calcium than the other hays.
Botanical - Combines timothy hay with fragrant herbs
