Rabbit Hay – High-Quality Hay as a Basic Diet for Rabbits

Rabbit hay as the basis of a healthy rabbit diet

Rabbit hay is the most important source of nutrition for rabbits and should always be available in unlimited quantities. Its high fiber content supports healthy digestion, contributes to natural tooth wear, and is in keeping with rabbits' eating habits.

At DRD Rodent Shop® you will find a carefully selected range of rabbit hay, suitable for daily use and tailored to different needs and preferences.

Why is hay so important for rabbits?

A rabbit's digestive system is designed to process large amounts of fiber-rich food. Rabbits naturally eat many small portions per day. Hay ensures a constant flow of food through the gastrointestinal tract and supports the functioning of the cecum.

In addition, hay is essential for wearing down the teeth, which continue to grow throughout rabbits' lives.

Types of rabbit hay

There are different types of hay, each with its own structure and composition. Commonly used hay types include:

• timothy hay – rich in fiber and suitable for adult rabbits
• meadow hay – natural and varied
• herbal hay – enriched with tasty herbs
• alfalfa (lucerne) – high in protein, suitable for young or pregnant rabbits

Variety can help stimulate hay intake and keep the diet interesting.

Quality, freshness and storage

The quality of hay directly affects your rabbit's health. Good rabbit hay is green, smells fresh, is low in dust, and mold-free.

UV-free storage: Our rabbit hay is stored UV-free. This prevents the hay from being exposed to sunlight or UV light, which helps prevent the decomposition of nutrients, odor, and color. This better preserves its nutritional value.

Hay as food and gnawing material

Hay isn't just food; it's also an important gnawing material. Chewing it for extended periods supports dental health and provides natural activity, which helps prevent boredom and stress.
