THE OAT HAY
The oat straw is one of the most suitable to help the tooth wear and improve digestion hays, since it acts as an antioxidant and is a potentiator of the immune system; but if this hay stands out for something, it is for its contribution in glucose and iron that offer our pets a shinier and smoother coat.
We can easily recognize it by its little bells that house the oat seeds once the milk has reached the grain.The texture of oat hay is thicker, but it is the preferred hay for rabbits and rodents, since it has a texture and a flavor that drives them crazy.
