{"product_id":"exotic-nutrition-timothy-hay-cubes","title":"Exotic Nutrition Timothy Hay Cubes Small Animal Food, 1 lb, sun-cured","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese timothy hay cubes come as a 1 lb (454 g) pack of compressed blocks made from sun-cured timothy hay. Each block holds a firmer texture than loose bale hay, so an animal has to work at it while chewing. Timothy hay makes up at least 40% of the cube, and compressed alfalfa binds the material together. The cubes suit chinchillas, prairie dogs, degus, rabbits and guinea pigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the compressed blocks are like to feed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cubes are formed from sun-cured timothy hay pressed into block shape, and compressed alfalfa acts as the adhesive that holds each block together. Since it is compressed into one firm block instead of staying loose, this cube offers a chew that is harder work than standard bale hay. That firmer form is the main difference between these cubes and a handful of loose hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach block is a portion in itself, so a cube can be placed in the cage whole. The pack is sold as one 1 lb unit, which is the same as 16 ounces or 454 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes into the timothy hay cubes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy hay is the leading ingredient at a minimum of 40%, and compressed alfalfa comes in at 40% minimum as well, holding the block together.
