Hi everyone, I'm new to the rabbit world and purchased a few toys off amazon for my newly adopted girl Layla. One of them was a chew toy with apple sticks and grass balls that are supposedly 100% timothy hay with no additives. The exact same chew seems to be all over amazon, under many different brand names, this is it:

Layla seems to love it and has chewed through a lot of the balls already, however I was just looking at them and thinking... they seem far too green to be 100% timothy hay, they also kinda fall apart to dust when nibbled on, and I sniffed one and it smelt kind of sweet, with a subtle apple-like scent.
We tried to take it away from her until we know for sure what's in it but she threw a strop and started thumping, showing us her back and just not engaging with us so my boyfriend convinced me to let him give it back to her.
Does anyone have experience with these treats, are they okay? I'm just so worried about giving her something that might upset her stomach, she's already underweight from previous owner's neglect so I want to make sure she only has healthy stuff.
Thanks,
Lucy
