Once your pet reaches young adulthood (approximately five months old), it is time to switch from the high-protein and calcium alfalfa hay to timothy hay. This wholesome hay is mostly the main staple of every adult small pet’s diet as it brings about two main benefits. Firstly, its high-fibre content aids in boosting gut and digestive health. It prevents hairball formation that would otherwise lead to further health complications.

Next, it improves dental health by promoting chewing. As most small pets have ever-growing teeth, the texture of hay helps to wear down their teeth and promote healthy growth. This diet is a close duplicate to forages in their natural habitat and therefore, provides mental stimulation. Moreover, timothy hay is low in calories, which means it is less likely to cause weight gain.

Other than timothy hay, you should integrate small amounts of other hays such as alfalfa or orchard grass as well as fresh pellets and vegetables into your pet’s diet.
