New Mountain Meadow Hay
July 4th, 2007 by Belinda
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new product and a new site. Fresh, aromatic, mountain meadow hay grown without fertilisers or pesticides and away from sources of pollution in the Tatra and Sudeten mountains of Southern Poland.
Fed by clear mountain streams, the long meadow grasses and wild plants are harvested, cured and dried in the fresh mountain air.
Our mountain meadow hay is much loved by rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus.
High in fibre and rich in trace elements and minerals from the natural soil in which the grasses, herbs and wild plants are grown.
The hay includes 15% naturally ocurring Timothy hay; 20% perennial and Italian rye grass; 30% Tall, Red and Meadow fescue, Cocks Foot and Bent Red Top grasses, 5% Red, White and Alsike Clover with Dandelion and Yarrow.
Fibre 26.38%, Protein 18%, Calcium 4.89%, Phosphorous 1.35%

Mountain Meadow Hay is the perfect hay for balancing out the veggies in a hay and veggie diet as it is high in calcium with a high Ca:P ratio.
