The Importance of Hay in Your Rabbit’s Diet

Your pet rabbit needs a variety of foods to keep him happy and healthy. Your rabbit will need high-quality rabbit pellets, fresh leafy greens, other crunchy vegetables such as carrots or squash and some fruit as a treat. Your rabbit will also need lots and lots of hay. Hay helps keep your rabbit’s digestive system work well and all that nibbling helps keep his teeth trim. Alfalfa hay has too much protein for adult rabbits so timothy hay is a better choice. You can buy small bales of dried timothy hay at your local pet store. You may be able to find fresh timothy hay at a feed store or online. This fresh hay tastes yummy and can add extra moisture to your rabbit’s diet. Be generous with the hay portions and replace the hay daily. Don’t forget to give your rabbit access to fresh, clean water at all times. For more information, contact your Cy-Fair veterinarian.
