Buy rabbit hay – high-quality hay for rabbits
Rabbit hay is the daily staple for rabbits. Hay should be readily available so that your rabbits can eat small amounts throughout the day, chew for extended periods, and have sufficient fiber-rich roughage in their routine. In this category, you will find high-quality hay for rabbits, including timothy hay, meadow hay, mountain meadow hay, herbal hay, fresh grass hay, hay bales, chunks, and enriching hay products.
At DRD Knaagdierwinkel®, we view hay as part of total care. Good hay complements eating behavior, teeth, droppings, toilet area, and the setup of the enclosure. That is why you will find not only bags of hay here, but also hay in various textures, scents, and forms: from the daily basic to extra attractive hay and grass products for foraging, gnawing, and enrichment.
✓ In short: hay is the most important daily dietary basis for rabbits and should always be readily available.

Roughage daily
Rabbits should be able to eat small amounts of hay throughout the day. Hay is not a treat, but the basis of their daily diet.
Structure & variation
Some rabbits like fine hay, while others prefer coarser, stempier, more herbaceous, or fragrant hay. Variety can help picky hay eaters.
Checking droppings
Hay intake is often reflected in the droppings. Normal droppings are an important daily check.
Why hay is so important for rabbits
Hay is roughage and suits the way rabbits eat: many small amounts spread throughout the day. It contains fiber and requires prolonged chewing. Therefore, hay should always be available, alongside clean drinking water and an appropriate portion of rabbit food .
A good hay routine also helps you with daily check-ups. Do your rabbits enjoy eating hay? Are their droppings normal? Does their weight remain stable? Do they respond actively at feeding times? Such signals reveal a lot about their overall care.
Hay in the daily routine
✓ Provide hay generously and in an easily accessible place.
✓ Replace hay that is wet, musty, or heavily soiled.
✓ Combine hay with a designated toilet area, as many rabbits like to eat and defecate in the same spot.
✓ Do not give so many pellets that your rabbits eat less hay.
✓ Check daily if both rabbits are eating hay properly.
What can you find in this Rabbit Hay category?
This category is broader than just standard hay. Here you will find various types of hay, as well as hay products that help make eating hay more interesting. This is useful for rabbits who enjoy variety, for owners who want to create an attractive hay corner, and for situations where you want to combine hay with foraging, gnawing, or snacking.
Assortment in this category

✓ Meadow hay and mountain meadow hay: natural hay with different grass structures, aromas, and cutting times.
✓ Herbal hay: hay with herbs, flowers, or fragrant extras for more variety.

✓ Grass products and hay enrichment: products that make eating hay, gnawing, and foraging more interesting.
What types of rabbit hay are there?
There are different types of hay for rabbits. One type is finer or softer, while another is coarser, stempier, or more herbaceous. Which type suits best depends on your rabbits. Some rabbits enjoy coarser hay, while others get excited about herbal hay or a mix of multiple textures.
Meadow hay
Versatile hay with natural grass textures. A fine base for rabbits who enjoy a variety of hay.
Mountain meadow hay
Fragrant hay with a natural mix of grasses and plants. Often appealing to rabbits who enjoy a bit more scent and texture.
Timothy hay
Known as fiber-rich grass hay with an often somewhat stemmy texture. Suitable for owners who are conscious about hay intake.
Herbal hay
Hay with herbs or flowers for extra fragrance and variety. Handy when you want your rabbits to develop a little more interest in hay.
Fresh grass hay
A tasty hay variety with a different scent and texture than standard hay. Nice to alternate within the daily hay routine.
Hay bales, chunks and hay products
Compact or enriching forms of hay and grass. These products can provide extra activity alongside the daily hay routine.
It can help to alternate or offer several types of hay side by side. This way, you discover which texture, smell, and taste your rabbits prefer.
Which hay suits your rabbits?
The best rabbit hay is hay that your rabbits enjoy eating and that fits into their daily care routine. Therefore, consider smell, texture, dust, freshness, and eating behavior. Hay should smell fresh, be dry, and be appealing enough for them to eat several times a day.
Some rabbits prefer finer hay, while others choose stemmy hay. With picky hay eaters, it can be wise to test different types of hay. When doing so, pay attention not only to what they find briefly interesting, but especially to what they actually continue to eat every day.
Pay attention to when choosing hay
✓ Does the hay smell fresh and natural?
✓ Is the hay dry and not musty?
✓ Does the texture suit what your rabbits like to eat?
✓ Do your rabbits continue to eat it daily?
✓ Are the droppings normal and does the appetite remain stable?

What if your rabbits eat little hay?
If your rabbits are eating little hay, it is important to look at the bigger picture. Are they perhaps getting too many pellets or snacks? Is the hay fresh enough? Is it in an attractive spot? Is there stress in the enclosure? Or could chewing be painful due to dental problems?
A rabbit that suddenly eats less hay but still wants soft food or pellets may still have a problem with chewing. Therefore, pay attention to signs such as eating more slowly, dropping food, drooling, smaller droppings, fewer droppings, or weight loss. If in doubt, a rabbit-specialist veterinarian should take a look.
Making hay more attractive
✓ Offer hay in multiple locations.
✓ Use a hay rack, hay box, or hay area near the toilet.
✓ Try a different texture, such as finer, coarser, or herb-rich hay.
✓ Alternate loose hay with hay in another form, such as hay bales, chunks, or filled hay products.
✓ Give pellets in deliberate doses, so that hay remains an important part of the daily routine.
✓ Have teeth and health checked if one of your rabbits is clearly eating less hay.

Hay rack, toilet area and hay corner
A good hay spot helps make eating hay more natural. Many rabbits enjoy eating hay while sitting on or near their litter box. Therefore, a combination of a rabbit toilet, litter box bedding, and hay rack is often very practical.
Ensure that the hay remains clean and accessible. A hay rack can help keep the hay tidy for longer, but your rabbits must be able to eat from it comfortably. For some enclosures, a hay feeder, hay sack, or separate hay corner works better. So, focus primarily on what your rabbits actually use.
Practical hay nook
✓ Place hay at or above the toilet area.
✓ Ensure that both rabbits can easily reach the hay.
✓ Keep hay dry, fresh, and free of urine stains.
✓ Optionally use multiple hay stations in a larger living space.
✓ Check daily whether the hay is actually being eaten.

Quality, freshness, and low-dust hay
You can recognize good rabbit hay by its fresh scent, dry texture, and attractive color. Hay should not smell musty, wet, or moldy. Low-dust hay is pleasant to use, especially when you replenish the hay corner daily and your rabbits eat and sniff close to the hay.
At DRD Knaagdierwinkel®, we focus on quality, storage, and usability for daily care. UV-free storage helps prevent hay from being unnecessarily exposed to sunlight or UV light, better preserving scent, color, and product quality.
Quality check on hay
✓ The hay smells fresh and natural.
✓ The hay feels dry and is not musty.
✓ The texture suits what your rabbits like to eat.
✓ The hay is pleasant to use in a hay rack, hay feeder, or toilet hay corner.
✓ Your rabbits will keep eating it daily.
Storing rabbit hay
Hay remains at its best when stored dry, airy, and clean. Do not store hay in a damp room and do not seal it airtight if it may still contain moisture. It is best not to offer hay that smells musty, has become wet, or is visibly soiled.
For daily feeding, it is better to use smaller portions that you replenish regularly. This keeps the hay fresh and allows you to better see how much your rabbits are actually eating.
Keep hay tidy
✓ Store hay in a dry and airy place.
✓ Avoid damp sheds, wet floors, or areas with condensation.
✓ Check the smell, color, and texture before offering.
✓ Remove old, wet, or dirty hay from the enclosure.
✓ It is better to refill with fresh ingredients regularly than to let one large pile sit.

Frequently asked questions about rabbit hay
How much hay do rabbits need?
Rabbits should have plenty of hay available. Replenish with fresh hay daily and check that both rabbits are actually eating it properly.
What is the best hay for rabbits?
The best hay is fresh, dry, appealing, and readily eaten. Some rabbits prefer fine hay, while others prefer coarser, stempier, or herb-rich hay. Test what your rabbits continue to eat well every day.
What is the difference between timothy hay, meadow hay, and herbal hay?
Timothy hay is often somewhat stemmy, meadow hay contains natural grass structures, and herbal hay has extra fragrance and variety due to added herbs or flowers. Which type suits best depends on what your rabbits like to eat.
Why is hay important for rabbits' teeth?
Hay requires prolonged chewing. As a result, it aligns well with the natural eating behavior of rabbits. If one of your rabbits suddenly eats less hay, pay extra attention to their teeth, appetite, and droppings.
My rabbits eat very little hay, what can I do?
Try different types of hay, offer hay in multiple locations, and place hay near the litter box. Also, take a critical look at the amount of pellets. If one of your rabbits suddenly eats significantly less, contact a veterinarian specializing in rabbits.
Are hay bales, chunks, and filled hay products also suitable?
Yes, these products can be a nice addition alongside loose hay. They often make eating hay, gnawing, or foraging more interesting. However, loose hay remains the most important daily staple.
Is herbal hay suitable for rabbits?
Yes, herbal hay can be a nice variation if it encourages your rabbits to eat more hay. Consider it part of the daily hay routine and continue to monitor droppings, appetite, and overall diet.
Can you give hay in a hay rack?
Yes, a hay rack can help present hay in a cleaner and more organized way. Just make sure your rabbits can easily access the hay and that the rack is placed safely and practically.
What is the difference between hay and straw?
Hay is primarily intended as a daily dietary basis. Straw is more often used as insulating or comfort material, for example in an outdoor enclosure or night shelter. For food, hay remains the most important basis.
How do you store rabbit hay?
Store hay dry, clean, and airy. Do not use hay that smells wet, musty, or moldy. Remove old or soiled hay from the enclosure and replenish with fresh hay regularly.
