Hay is an essential part of the diet of rabbits and herbivorous rodents such as guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. It not only provides essential fiber that contributes to healthy digestion, but also provides a fun activity and helps wear down teeth. In this category, you'll find a wide range of hay bales and hay chunks in various shapes and compositions.

What can you find in this category?

• Hay bales with herbs & flowers – Enriched with delicious extras such as chamomile, marigold, and rose petals for extra flavor and fragrance.
• Hay chunks & blocks – Compact hay rolls and compressed hay blocks, ideal for nibbling and long-lasting enjoyment.
• Hanging Hay Bales – Specially designed to encourage foraging and discourage boredom.
• Various hay mixes – From mountain meadow hay to timothy hay and special herbal hay, there's always a variety to suit your rodent's needs.

Everything starts at the source: the farmer

The quality of hay naturally begins in the field. We work closely with specialized farmers and producers who know exactly which grass is suitable for rodents. They mow the hay at the right time—when its nutritional value is at its highest—and dry it naturally. By working with established farmers, we know exactly what we receive and where it comes from. Quality, provenance, and transparency: that's what we strive for.

UV light? Not with us!

As soon as the hay arrives, we immediately store it in a special, sealed space. Why? Because sunlight—and especially UV radiation—can damage hay. UV light breaks down nutrients, fades the color, and affects the smell. And that smell is crucial for rodents: it stimulates their appetite and natural behavior. By storing the hay in a cool, dark place, we ensure that everything is preserved as it was intended.

Did you know... hay exposed to light for extended periods can significantly lose its nutritional value?

Our quality control: smell, look, feel

At DRD Rodent Shop®, we leave nothing to chance. Every hay product that arrives is assessed for its aroma, color, and texture. Only hay that smells fresh, has a natural color, and is free of dust or mold is included in our assortment. And even after that, we remain critical: we regularly inspect the stored products to ensure quality.

Strong together: producers, farmers and specialists

Our close collaboration with producers and farmers makes all the difference. Because we actively participate in the production process, we can communicate specific requests based on what we learn daily from our customers. For example: softer hay for older animals, extra-fiber-rich hay for improved digestion, or more fragrant hay for picky eaters. These direct lines of communication allow us to adapt quickly and continue to improve.
