Bunny Nature German Timothy Hay is a high-quality Timothy hay with a firm, coarse structure. This hay originates from Germany, is carefully processed, and hand-packed. Thanks to the long blades and high crude fiber content, this hay is a fine choice for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus that require a lot of hay daily.
At DRD, when it comes to hay, we primarily look at smell, structure, fiber, eating behavior, and its role in the daily diet. Timothy hay is popular because it is somewhat coarser and firmer than many softer types of hay. As a result, it encourages longer chewing and active plucking. Hay should always be available in unlimited quantities for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus.
✔ Fiber-rich Timothy hay for the daily menu
✔ Coarse texture for longer chewing
✔ Beautiful hay base for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus
✔ Low calcium content according to Bunny Nature
✔ Hand-packed and carefully processed
✔ Also nice to offer in a hay rack, hay sack, or foraging area.
Timothy hay is known for its firm structure and high fiber content. It is precisely those coarse blades that make it appealing to animals that need to chew a lot and enjoy picking hay quietly. For rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, hay is not an extra treat, but a regular part of their daily diet.
The firm structure helps to prolong the feeding session. As a result, many animals spend more time plucking, sorting, and chewing. This aligns well with the natural feeding rhythm of herbivores, who eat small portions of fiber-rich material spread throughout the day and night.
Bunny Nature also lists the low calcium content as an important plus point. This makes this Timothy hay interesting for owners who consciously look at the overall mineral balance in the diet, for example in combination with a suitable main food, herbs, and snacks.
Bunny Nature Timothy Hay may be offered freely. For rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, this means that fresh and clean hay should always be available. Replace the hay daily or as soon as it becomes flat, dusty, wet, or less appealing.
You can offer the hay loose, place it in a hay rack, or distribute it across multiple locations in the enclosure. Creating multiple hay spots often works well, especially for social animals. This allows each animal to eat peacefully and reduces congestion around a single rack.
For small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, you use this hay primarily as natural structure. Think of a small clump in a tunnel zone, digging corner, or landscaping area. This gives the enclosure more scent, structure, and foraging opportunities.
| Usage | How to offer it? | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Daily hay base | Offer unlimited to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. | Refresh daily and keep the hay clean and dry. |
| Hay rack or hay sack | Place the hay loosely in a hay rack, sack, or hay bale. | This way, the hay stays clean and attractive for longer. |
| Scaping & foraging | Use small tufts between bedding, tunnels, or natural materials. | Especially suitable for small rodents as structure and enrichment. |
Timothy hay.
This is a single-ingredient feed. This means that you do not feed a herb mix or a compound hay variety, but pure Timothy hay. This is convenient if you like to keep track of what your animal is consuming, or if you want to combine the hay yourself with loose herbs, leaves, or flowers.
Crude protein 5%, crude fiber 30%.
The analysis is consistent with a high-fiber hay with a coarse structure. The 30% crude fiber makes this hay an attractive daily fiber source for herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. Hay always remains the foundation; snacks, herbs, and pellets are supplements to that daily hay diet.
Hay is a natural product. Color, scent, length, and structure may vary from harvest to harvest. This is normal for natural hay. Store the hay in a dry, airy place and out of direct sunlight so that the scent and structure are preserved as well as possible.
Make haymaking more appealing by combining Bunny Nature Timothy Hay with a matching hay rack , hay bag , rodent and rabbit herbs , or play & foraging items . For rabbits and guinea pigs, you can also look at species-specific hay categories, such as rabbit hay and guinea pig hay .
