Torwood Farm Mini Oaten Bale – 22 Litres

Torwood Farm Mini Oaten Bale 22L is a natural Australian oaten hay, conveniently packaged in a compact mini bale for rabbits, guinea pigs, horses and other suitable hay-eating animals.

Sourced from local Australian farms, this oaten hay provides a valuable source of dietary fibre and natural roughage, helping support healthy digestion, normal chewing behaviour and overall wellbeing.

The convenient 22-litre bagged mini bale makes storing, carrying and feeding hay easier, particularly for pet owners who do not have room for a traditional full-sized hay bale.

Natural High-Fibre Nutrition

Oaten hay is produced from oat plants that are cut and dried to preserve their value as animal forage.

It provides long-stemmed roughage, which is an important part of the natural diet of many herbivorous animals.

The fibre content helps maintain normal digestive movement and supports healthy gastrointestinal function.

Unlike concentrated feeds and pellets, long-stemmed hay also encourages extended chewing and natural feeding behaviour.

Ideal for Rabbits

Rabbits require a diet containing plenty of high-quality hay to support healthy digestion and normal dental wear.

Torwood Farm Mini Oaten Bale provides long-stemmed forage that encourages rabbits to chew and forage naturally.

Regular access to suitable hay helps:

• Support healthy digestive movement
• Maintain normal gut function
• Encourage natural chewing behaviour
• Support normal tooth wear
• Provide mental stimulation through foraging

Oaten hay is generally suitable as a major component of the diet of healthy adult rabbits.

Hay should be available throughout the day, together with fresh water, appropriate leafy greens and a suitable quantity of rabbit pellets.

Ideal for Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs also require continuous access to suitable grass hay.

Oaten hay provides valuable fibre and encourages the extended chewing necessary for normal dental wear.

Regular access to quality hay helps support:

• Healthy digestion
• Normal gastrointestinal function
• Dental health
• Natural foraging behaviour
• Overall wellbeing

Guinea pigs must also receive sufficient Vitamin C through their daily diet, as hay alone does not provide a reliable source.

Suitable for Horses & Ponies

Oaten hay is commonly used in horse feeding programs as a source of roughage.

The Torwood Farm Mini Oaten Bale can be a convenient option for owners requiring smaller quantities of hay for:

• Horses and ponies
• Miniature horses
• Occasional supplementary feeding
• Short-term feeding requirements
• Small properties with limited hay storage

Horse owners should assess the overall forage quality and nutritional suitability of the hay, particularly for animals with metabolic conditions or special dietary requirements.

Supports Natural Dental Wear

Rabbits and guinea pigs have teeth that continue growing throughout their lives.

Chewing long-stemmed hay helps promote the normal wearing of their teeth.

Providing suitable hay every day is therefore important for both digestive and dental health.

Encourages Natural Foraging

In addition to providing nutrition, oaten hay encourages natural feeding behaviours.

Rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy exploring, selecting and chewing hay throughout the day.

Hay can be offered in hay racks, feeding stations or suitable areas of an enclosure to encourage activity and enrichment.

Convenient 22L Mini Bale

Torwood Farm's mini bale range is designed to make purchasing and storing hay more practical for pet owners.

The compact 22-litre bag is particularly useful for:

• Apartment and townhouse pet owners
• Small backyards
• Indoor rabbit enclosures
• Guinea pig hutches
• Owners with limited storage space
• Households with one or two small animals

The bagged format also helps make handling and transporting hay more convenient.

Please note: 22L refers to the packaged volume, not a guaranteed weight in kilograms.

Feeding Directions

Rabbits

Provide a generous, continuous supply of suitable hay.

Hay should form the majority of the diet for most healthy adult rabbits.

Replace contaminated or spoiled hay and ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Guinea Pigs

Provide unlimited access to suitable hay daily.

Supplement with appropriate guinea pig pellets, fresh vegetables and adequate dietary Vitamin C.

Horses & Ponies

Feed according to the animal's bodyweight, condition, workload and overall nutritional requirements.

Other Herbivores

Feed only to species for which oaten hay is appropriate, taking account of their individual nutritional requirements.
