Feeding Rabbit Hole Timothy Hay to rabbits is an excellent choice, as it's a high-quality, all-natural hay that provides essential fiber for their digestive health. Here’s some suggestions for feeding it to your rabbit properly:

1. Ensure Freshness

• Store Timothy Hay in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to keep it fresh. Keep it in a sealed container to prevent dust and contamination.
• Before feeding, check that it’s free from mold or excessive dust.

2. Offer Unlimited Hay

• Hay should be available to your rabbit at all times. Rabbits need continuous access to hay to maintain a healthy digestive system.
• A rabbit’s diet should consist of 70-80% hay, with Timothy Hay being a primary source.

3. Choose the Right Type of Hay

• Timothy Hay comes in various cuts (1st, 2nd, 3rd), and it's important to choose the appropriate cut depending on the age and health of your rabbit:

Rabbit Hole Timothy Hay typically has a balanced blend, but check the packaging for details about the specific cut and composition.

4. Serve Hay Properly

• Place hay in a hay rack or hay ball. These methods help keep the hay clean and accessible, preventing it from being contaminated by urine or feces.
• If your rabbit doesn’t seem to eat enough hay, you can try spreading it on the floor or mixing it with some leafy greens to encourage consumption.

5. Supplement with Fresh Greens and Pellets

• While hay is the main component of a rabbit’s diet, it should be supplemented with fresh, rabbit-safe vegetables like romaine lettuce, kale, and herbs. Make sure to offer a variety for balanced nutrition.
• High-quality, hay-based rabbit pellets can be fed in moderation, but they should not be the main food source.

6. Monitor Your Rabbit’s Health

• Keep an eye on your rabbit’s stool and behavior. Healthy rabbits should have consistent, firm droppings, and they should be active and eating well.
• If your rabbit refuses to eat hay or shows signs of gastrointestinal discomfort, contact your vet for advice.

7. Hydration is Key

• Always provide fresh water along with the hay. Rabbits need plenty of water to stay hydrated and help digestion.

8. Avoid Overfeeding Treats

• While it’s tempting to give your rabbit tasty treats, they should be given in moderation. Stick to fresh vegetables or a small portion of fruit to keep your rabbit’s diet healthy.

By following these guidelines, you'll ensure that your rabbit enjoys a balanced, healthy diet that supports their digestive system, dental health, and overall well-being.
