Hay comes in range of Tasty Varieties!
As we know Hay is an essential part of any Fibrevore’s diet. Fibravore's are small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, degus or chinchillas who require hay as a large proportion of the diet., this hay provides them with all of the beneficial fibre that they need for healthy digestion. There are so many types of small animal hay to choose from on the market today that it can be difficult to know which you should buy. Hay can easily divided into two main types - grass hays and legume hays.
Now you can purchase hays which has tasty added extras such as dandelions, birch bark, chamomile or Jerusalem artichoke to name but a few. These are great as a treat and when mixed with their usual hay and will encourage them to forage, encourage natural behaviour and naturally reduce boredom.

A few varieties are:
Timothy hay is grass based and is ideal for older rabbits. With its mix of leaves and stems it creates a great mix of taste and high fibre content which is essential to ensure a healthy digestive system.
Alfalfa is legume hay and is very tasty making it popular with Rabbits and other small animals. It has a high fibre and nutritional content but should only be fed as a treat as it is high in calcium which can eventually lead to high calcium build up in the bladder. It is however a fantastic, tasty food that will encourage recovering animals, following an illness or surgery, to eat.
Burns Green Oat Hay is a great natural alternative to the 'traditional' hays. This mix of stem, leaf and 'green' oat husks is great at keeping your small animal’s digestive system’s healthy and as an aide to dental wears.
Dried Meadow Grass is another really popular product which although not strictly a hay, it is a dried grass, packed full of more nutrients than hay and with a wonderful 'fresh grass' smell as soon as you open the bag!
