 Just
say “Hay”
if you want a
Healthy Rabbit!
Hay is the Most Important Part of a
Rabbit's Diet
I am Timothy Hay. Yes, that
is a real type of hay – Timothy Hay. I
am not as rich as Alfalfa Hay, but that makes me better for adult rabbits. The most
important thing timothy hay provides is the long indigestible fiber to keep
things moving in the rabbit's digestive system!
Timothy Hay is healthy for proper
teeth wear because of the chewing action (rabbit teeth grow constantly).
Plus, timothy hay can make a rabbit feel full so he may not chew everything in
sight like your computer wires!
- Alfalfa hay is
very rich in nutrients and calories! House rabbits can get fat on alfalfa hay.
- Timothy hay is better
than alfalfa for this reason.
- Oat
hay is okay for variety.
- Straw
hay does not have enough nutrients and should not be given as a feed.
Buy timothy hay
fresh online from or you can buy it from a local feed store. Hopperhome goes to
the feed store for fresh hay by the 50 lb. bale!
Make
timothy hay available at all the times to your rabbit.
Use it in the litter box and
change often. See
Critter
Litter to learn about how to put together a litter box with hay.
Rabbits
can be given hay as soon as they are weaned.
