Not bad a price for 1lb, I bought another brand from petsmart a week ago that she absolutely tears up, im already almost out of it and I've only started giving it to her a couple days ago. She likes this brand she's honestly not too picky when it comes to hay but she does have some that she likes more. I haven't had her for long I've only recently got her the week of July 4th so I've only tried 3 different brands of alfalfa hay. So far it's the petsmart brand she likes the most then this brand is 2nd and the brand her breeder gave me is 3rd she's like meh with that one. So far so good. If your bunny likes longer pieces and the leafy bits this is honestly perfect. 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. ## Features - Nutrition For Young And Growing Pets: This alfalfa hay offers a naturally rich mix of protein, fiber, and calcium that supports the feeding needs of young rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas.

Is it organic?** A: The hay that we offer is pesticide-free. We would like to add that a common misconception is that organic means pesticide-free, however, this is not the case at all. Organic does not mean pesticide-free and pesticide-free does not mean organic. Since the term organic is merely a marketing label that is arbitrary and the requirements vary widely from state to state, we don't want to restrict the tools available to us to preserve our farm's sustainability. We pride ourselves in using sustainable farming techniques such as using compost as fertilizer, grazing, crop rotations, testing our soils, and using one-pass tillage implements in order to minimize our farm's carbon emissions. **Q: What is the best way to store the Alfalfa Hay?** A: The best way to store Alfalfa Hay is to fold the flaps of the cardboard box over one another and put the box in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Airtight packaging is not recommended. Hay should be able to breathe to avoid molding or fermentation. **Q: It it normal for the hay to feel extremly dry? I purchased a 1lb box ans compared to other hay that comes in a bag it is extremly dry.** A: Hi Brandon, we are sorry that you were not satisfied with our hay. We see that we did not get off on the right foot but we think that if you give us a chance we can make it up to you. We are not perfect but we are always learning and striving to be a little bit better each day than we were the day before. One thing our great-grandpa passed down through the generations was admitting our mistakes and taking ownership of them. Please reach out to us at tania@highdesertfeeds.com and we are more than happy to hear how we can improve and we will do our level best to make things right. Growing alfalfa is our livelihood and our family has learned a lot from farming alfalfa on the same ground through the generations. However, we admit that we are new to the small animal market and we are constantly improving our product and our processes as we make mistakes, receive feedback, and grow. **Q: Ferrets are Carnivores why are they listed on this product, also it's not good for adult rabbits either?** A: Dont feed it to your ferrets or adult bunnies. All adult bunnies come from baby bunnies. Alfalfa is imperative to Young rabbits. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Price Good Hay *by Z***L on July 20, 2026* Not bad, a lot of longer pieces and leafy pieces which my bunny loves.
