  • Why do small pets such as Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Chinchillas eat hay?
    • Never-ending teeth! Rabbits, guinea pig, and chinchilla teeth never stop growing, and the chewing action on fibrous hay helps keep their teeth healthy and at an appropriate length.
    • Digestive health! It is incredibly important for a small pets GI tract to have constant movement, and quality fresh hay has great indigestible fiber content that promotes that healthy gut movement. A healthy pet is one that is eating and pooping lots of hay!
    • A few key factors make hay the most important part of a small pets diet:
  • What is the best type of hay for Rabbits?
    • One key consideration for selecting the best food for your Rabbit is the energy/calorie requirements specific to your Rabbit. For most adult rabbits Timothy, Dryland Timothy or other grass hay types are a great choice given its high fiber and mid-level protein/calcium content. For young growing rabbits, pregnant rabbits, or even some older rabbits that need a higher calorie/energy content meal Alfalfa Hay can be a great choice. Alfalfa can also be a great supplement in small quantities for adult rabbits. For some more information around selecting the best diet for your Rabbit, we recommend contacting your local Vet to ensure your little buddy is getting the personalized nutrition they need!
  • How long will hay last?
    • The two primary factors in hay degrading in quality are sunlight and moisture. We package our hay inside a durable resealable bag to keep out moisture, and then place it into a durable box for shipping and storage. This moisture and sun protection will keep your hay fresh for as long as you need it!
  • How should I store my hay?
    • Store hay in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight. The packaging we provide when placed inside or in the shade will work great!
  • What is the best type of hay for Guinea Pigs?
    • One key consideration for selecting the best food for your Guinea Pig is the energy/calorie requirements specific to your Guinea Pig. Alfalfa is generally a higher energy content food and is great for young, growing, pregnant, active, or any other Guinea Pig that needs a little more engird content in their food. For some more information around selecting the best diet for your Guinea Pig, we recommend contacting your local Vet to ensure your little buddy is getting the personalized nutrition they need!
  • What is the best type of hay for Chinchillas?
    • One key consideration for selecting the best food for your Chinchilla is the energy/calorie requirements specific to your Chinchilla.
