Western Timothy Hay

The grass hay that should make up most of a rabbit or guinea pig's diet. Not a treat, the actual foundation of keeping them healthy.

Our take

If you take one thing from a small-herbivore care guide, it is this: unlimited grass hay is the single most important food for rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas. The long fibre keeps their gut moving, and a rabbit's gut stopping is an emergency, and the constant chewing wears down teeth that grow forever, heading off the dental disease that plagues these animals. Timothy is the standard everyday hay. Give a fresh pile daily, more than you think, and let them eat it free-choice. Pellets and veg are the supporting act; hay is the star.
