Has anyone had a new bag of burns green oat hay recently? We just had a lot arrive today, and the first bag I have opened has a lot of a plant that has furry/fuzzy/fluffy white stalks (i thought it was bits of white string at first) in it :?. Does anyone know what this is, or whether it is harmful?

Thanks! :wave::wave::wave:

We have loads of it here. Does it look like furry little catkins, like the top of wheat? If so it is just the very top of the hay, the husks and are fine for the buns

This is actually the seed heads of the oat plant and so they are not only safe but particularly nutritious and valuable for your bunnies to eat.

Yep, my bags have that. How are you finding it? My bunnies and guineas go bonkers for it

Hector seems to be enjoying it! I was worried that he might be put off by the fuzz, but he is not bothered
