Oxbow Western Timothy Hay, 40 oz

Daily essential

Best for: Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas

Grass hay should make up most of a rabbit's or guinea pig's diet. It keeps their gut moving and wears down their ever-growing teeth. Oxbow's timothy is a long-standing favourite with vets and owners.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, which all need unlimited grass hay every day. The House Rabbit Society recommends that hay makes up about 85% of an adult rabbit's diet.

Who should skip it

Baby rabbits and nursing mothers often get alfalfa hay as well, which is richer — ask your vet.

Tips

Keep hay in a hay rack or a clean corner and refresh it daily. Store the bag somewhere dry with some airflow so it doesn't go mouldy.

How much hay should my rabbit eat?

Unlimited. A rough guide is a pile about the size of your rabbit every day.

Why does hay quality vary?

Hay is a natural crop, so colour and texture vary between cuttings and seasons.
