Product Information

Hay and grass are important not only for rabbits’ nutrition but also for their teeth. Since rabbits’ teeth continue to grow throughout their lives, chewing on fibres such as grass and hay helps to grind them down. That said, remember that freshly cut grass is toxic for rabbits. Selective feeding can be an issue with some mix-style diets. Typically, the pellet portion is left in favour of tastier ingredients, and this can lead to nutrient imbalances. This hay comes from the first cut of the year, from the strongest Timothy grass plants that produce the largest, tastiest seed heads which will help to entice even the fussiest of small pets to chew. Timothy Hay is made from only Timothy grass and also known as meadow cat’s tail or common cat’s tail. Itis made up of stem, leaf and seed head. The seed head is the tastiest part and guinea pigs seem to love these. The leaves contain lots of vitamins and minerals and the stalk is important for grinding down your guinea pig’s teeth and aiding digestion.

Freshness: It should have a sweet fresh smell and not be at all musty. It should have some green colour to it. The green colour signifies larger amounts of vitamin A and C. Guinea pigs love the greener, sweeter and leafier hay. We strongly advise that you don’t use the metal hay balls. Although these are widely available, there have been many awful reports of guinea pigs getting injured or trapped in this type of hay feeder. What do 1st, 2nd and 3rd cutting mean in timothy hay? Apart from the nutritional value, there are a couple of important reasons why hay is vital for guinea pigs. This rabbit food can help improve rabbits’ metabolism and strengthen their overall immunity. It works well as a daily supplement to a regular diet of hay and fresh greens, helping your pets achieve optimal digestive and dental health. Hay should always be stored above ground level and preferably with some airflow. It can be kept in sealed plastic to stop moisture getting to it providing the hay is of good quality. However, if the hay is lower quality and hasn’t been dried properly, sealing it in plastic will cause it to go musty and mouldy. This is another good reason to ensure you only buy the better hays.This naturally grown Selective Timothy Hay from Supreme is a perfect mix of coarse stem and mildly green leaves and seed heads. The cut Timothy grass is then spread in the field up to six times over three days to accelerate the drying process and to help retain the highest levels of beneficial nutrients. Young guinea pigs or mother guinea pigs who are nursing their young need additional calcium in their diet, so Alfalfa Hay can be fed to these guinea pigs. Can I use feeding hay for bedding? It’s always reassuring to know where your food comes from, and even better when it’s from a local source. Now, you can be equally reassured about your rabbits’ food. Supreme Selective provides high-quality Timothy Hay and grasses grown here in the UK. By feeding hay you will help to keep your rabbit’s digestive system working properly and their teeth in great shape – rabbits have to chew to keep their constantly growing teeth healthy and even.
