Hay, the benchmark feed for rabbits
Raw material for animal feed
Did you know that there’s a food that our rabbits can eat as much as they like, that doesn’t make them put on weight, but, on the contrary, is essential to their health, maintains their teeth and contributes to better digestion? Well, it’s rabbit hay! Every day, your rabbit should consume the equivalent of its body volume in hay. It should be offered to him as much as he likes, and left at his disposal at all times. What’s more, you’ll soon see that this isn’t just good for his body: looking for the best strand, the one that crunches perfectly under the tooth, that smells better than the others… it’s a healthy activity that will keep your rabbit busy for hours on end! This hay is perfect for our rabbits, because not only is it delicious, it’s also one of the lowest in calcium. It’s ideal for keeping them healthy, especially if your rabbit is sensitive to urinary stones.
Why is timothy hay great for rabbits ?
Timothy hay, also known as timothy hay, is recommended by NAC veterinarians for rabbits suffering from urinary calculi, but it’s also :
Super digestible : thanks to its high fiber content, it helps maintain good intestinal transit, essential for your rabbits’ health.
Low in calcium : perfect for rabbits requiring low-calcium hay, helping to reduce the risk of urinary calculi.
Perfect for teeth : by nibbling this hay, your rabbit naturally wears down its teeth, which is essential for avoiding dental problems.
Dust-free : recommended for rabbits with respiratory problems.
How to serve it ?
Nothing could be simpler: offer your rabbit fresh timothy hay every day in a free-access hay rack. You’ll see that your rabbits will love nibbling on it, making it their staple food.
Storage advice
To preserve the full quality and taste of this hay, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Well-stored hay remains fragrant and appetizing!
This hay is therefore recommended for adult rabbits (growth complete), and for rabbits suffering from respiratory problems or kidney stones. We even recommend mixing hays to diversify your long-eared friend’s nutritional intake. Not sure what to choose?
