Product Information

Plenty of stems: Although guinea pigs often like the flowers and tops of the hay, it is the stems that really help grind down their teeth and offer the best fibre. So make sure the hay you buy has plenty of stems. If a hay specifies the “cutting”, the second cutting is the one to opt for. 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. Yum! The quality and aroma of this timothy hay will ensure it is a hit with rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals alike. Guinea pigs can eat meadow hay and timothy hay, but what’s the difference between these two types of hay, and which hay is best for your guinea pigs? Meadow Hay

Young rabbits need food that can meet the nutritional needs of their growing bodies. This junior rabbit food contains all-natural ingredients that mimic a rabbit’s natural diet, with no added sugars and a low caloric count. It’s also fortified with the extra ingredients that a growing bunny will need. Here at The Pet Express we want you to enjoy every time you shop with us. Occasionally we know you may want to return items, we have tried to make our terms as clear as possible to avoid any nasty surprises.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. 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. There are different types of hay and pellet bases available, but they’re not all equal in nutritional value. For example, alfalfa-based pellets have higher calories and lower fibre content. Instead, look for Timothy Hay, which has a healthy dose of the nutrients rabbits need.

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? Science Selective Timothy Hay is superior to other hay available. There are no less than six processes involved to retain the finest quality, so that the tasty long stems remain intact and are bursting with all the nutrients that small pets love. 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. The second most prominent part of their diet should be fresh greens and vegetables. “Leafy greens are all great,” explained one long-time rabbit owner we spoke to. “Things like fruits and even carrots are good but only in moderation, and avoid anything with seeds or pits.”Selective Timothy Hay comes from the first cut of the year, fresh from the fields. It’s harvested from carefully chosen Timothy grass that produces the largest, tastiest seed heads and is one of the best hays to feed rabbits. 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. Legume forages are high in fibre, protein and calcium but are not a suitable regular food for adult guinea pigs unless they are pregnant or nursing mothers. You can feed it as a very occasional treat but it should definitely not be their main hay source.
