Description
Friendly Green Oat ReadiGrass – Starch-Free Yorkshire Oat Forage
Friendly Green Oat ReadiGrass is a naturally tasty dried oat forage grown and produced in Yorkshire. Its mixture of green leaves, fibrous stems and crunchy husks provides small animals with different textures to nibble and explore.
The oat crop is harvested at an early stage while it is still fresh and green. Importantly, it is cut before the starchy oat grain develops. As a result, the finished forage is cereal-grain free and contains no starch.
Yorkshire-Grown Green Oat Forage
The oat forage is grown in fields belonging to Friendship Estates in the heart of Yorkshire. It is then harvested and processed on the farm, providing traceability from the growing crop to the finished pack.
A specialist drying process removes the water from the freshly harvested forage. Meanwhile, much of its natural flavour, green colour and nutritional value is retained.
Each 1kg pack contains dried oat forage without a mixture of unnecessary ingredients. Therefore, pets can enjoy the natural leaves, stems and fibrous husks of the young oat plant.
Harvested Before the Grain Develops
Although this product is made from oat plants, it does not contain mature oat grain. The plants are harvested before the grain forms and before starch develops.
This makes Friendly Green Oat ReadiGrass a useful choice for owners looking for naturally varied forage without cereal grains. Its typical nutritional analysis lists the starch content as nil.
The early harvesting process also produces green, fragrant forage with a naturally appealing texture. Consequently, it can add another taste and scent to your pet’s everyday feeding hay.
High-Fibre Forage for Small Animals
Friendly Green Oat ReadiGrass contains 28% fibre. Fibre is an important part of supporting normal digestive function in rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus.
The fibrous stalks and husks encourage plenty of nibbling and chewing. In turn, regular chewing contributes to natural tooth wear.
In addition, pets can search through the forage for their preferred leaves and crunchy pieces. This encourages natural foraging and can help make feeding time more interesting.
Add Taste and Texture to Feeding Hay
Green Oat ReadiGrass can be placed in a forage tray, feeding bowl or hay rack. Alternatively, scatter small amounts around the enclosure to encourage natural searching behaviour.
It is also ideal for mixing with Timothy, Orchard or Meadow Hay. This provides several aromas and textures while keeping suitable long-stem feeding hay available.
Good-quality forage should form the main part of your pet’s diet. Therefore, always ensure that rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus have access to suitable feeding hay or forage throughout the day.
How to Feed Green Oat ReadiGrass
Serve Friendly Green Oat ReadiGrass as part of your pet’s daily forage ration or mix it through good-quality feeding hay. Begin with a small amount before gradually increasing the serving.
Continue to provide suitable long-stem feeding hay alongside it, particularly for rabbits and guinea pigs. In addition, fresh drinking water should always be available.

A Completely Natural Forage
Green Oat ReadiGrass is made from a naturally grown crop. Therefore, the precise colour, aroma and proportion of leaves and stems can vary between batches.
These seasonal differences are normal and give each crop its own natural character. However, the forage should always be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Once opened, close the bag between uses to help preserve its freshness and natural aroma.
