It suits rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, and the brand also lists young, pregnant, nursing or older animals among those it is intended for. The box is 23 x 16 x 6 in and holds 80 ounces of loose hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to feed the hay\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's directions are to offer fresh hay daily. Young pets receive it as their main food, which means the hay goes into the enclosure as a regular part of the day's feeding rather than as a one-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor healthy adult animals the brand names a limit: because of the high fat content, it is best given only as an occasional treat. That single sentence separates the two feeding situations, so the same box serves a juvenile animal and an adult animal in different amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eALF-005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem form\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eguinea pigs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial ingredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlfalfa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlfalfa hay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Pound (Pack of 1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58.4 x 40.6 x 15.2 cm (23 x 16 x 6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.27 kg (5 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 ounce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Fat and Nutrient-Rich, Hand-Packed in Small Batches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes this box suit your animal?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with species: the manufacturer lists rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, so a pet outside those three is not covered by the brand's description.

At 2.27 kg (5 lb) and 58.4 x 40.6 x 15.2 cm, it needs clear storage space, and the hay arrives loose in a flake form, so a container for opened hay is part of the setup.
