Why Hay Is Important for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
High-quality grass hay should form the majority of the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs and other small herbivores. Oxbow Australia recommends that at least 70% of a small herbivore's diet consist of high-quality grass hay.
Digestive Health
The fibre provided by grass hay helps support the continuous digestive movement required by small herbivores. Regular access to hay also encourages the natural foraging behaviour these animals would perform in the wild.
Dental Health
Rabbits and guinea pigs have continuously growing teeth. Chewing fibrous hay helps provide the natural dental wear required to maintain healthy teeth.
Foraging & Enrichment
Providing hay also encourages natural foraging and chewing behaviours. Hay can be offered in different locations throughout your pet's enclosure to encourage activity and enrichment.
Feeding Directions
Provide generous amounts of fresh grass hay in your pet's habitat every day. Hay should make up the majority of a small herbivore's diet and should be readily available for your pet to eat and forage through.
Different varieties of grass hay can also be mixed together to provide different tastes and textures and encourage natural foraging behaviour.
