Rabbit Hay

The high fibre content in rabbit hay is extremely important in maintaining your pet’s diet and dental health. Pet Lovers Centre is the best place to buy hay for rabbits as we have a huge collection from the protein-rich alfalfa hay to the fibre-rich timothy hay for rabbits. Brands that we carry include Oxbow and Momi.

Some of the common types of rabbit hay include timothy, alfalfa and orchard grass, with each of them having differing nutritional benefits and flavours. It is suggested that hay can be eaten alone or complemented with pellets and other fresh foods such as leafy vegetables in moderation.

Consuming hay brings about many plus points as firstly, it would encourage your pet to drink more water as it is a dry food. Next, it prevents overeating and therefore, aids in maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Thirdly, it prevents rabbits from chewing on their own fur and lastly, it promotes chewing which helps to maintain good dental health.

Most importantly, you should ensure that the hay you have purchased is of good quality and is stored well. A great tip is to allow your rabbit to try different types of hay to see which one he prefers best.
