Dandelion Meadow Hay 500 grams for Rodents & Rabbits!

Natural mountain meadow hay with delicious dandelion

JR Farm Dandelion Meadow Hay is high-quality, airy mountain meadow hay enriched with marigold petals and 2.5% dandelion . This combination creates a delightful aroma and appealing-tasting roughage that encourages animals to eat more hay. This is important, because hay forms the basis of a healthy diet for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus.

The structure of this hay supports digestion and contributes to healthy, natural tooth wear. The addition of marigold and dandelion provides extra variety in flavor and enrichment. This makes the hay not only nutritious but also a fun activity for your pet.

Stored UV-free for optimum quality

At DRD Rodent Shop®, all hay is stored in a dark, cool, and UV-free place. UV light can break down nutrients and color, causing hay to deteriorate more quickly. Thanks to our storage method, the hay stays fragrant, vibrantly colored, and optimally nutritious—exactly what your pet needs.

! Note: Rats should not be fed hay because of their sensitive respiratory tract.

Hay is essential for herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. The fiber keeps the intestines active and ensures natural wear of the teeth, which continue to grow throughout their lives. JR Farm Dandelion Meadow Hay contains a mix of diverse meadow grasses and blossoms, making it rich in texture and natural micronutrients.

For small rodents like hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, and gerbils, hay is ideal as nesting material. It helps strengthen tunnels and adds structure to the bedding. It also provides natural enrichment: animals can nibble on it, search through it, and use it to build a comfortable nest.

Why no hay for rats?

Rats have extremely sensitive respiratory tracts. The dust particles in hay can cause irritation, so using hay for rats is not recommended. Always choose low-dust bedding and soft, dust-free nesting material for rats.
