Rabbits Need Hay

Rabbits' teeth continue to grow throughout their lives, so they need to chomp on fibrous hay or grass to help wear the teeth down.

Access to a constant supply of hay keeps their digestive systems moving along healthily. Like all animals, rabbits need to be able to exhibit their natural behaviour so a nibbling and foraging bunny will be a happy bunny!

rabbits need hay to keep their teeth healthy

A ball of good quality hay around the size of their body per day is ideal.

Here are some tips to encourage your rabbit to eat more hay:

Reduce the dry food you feed. Some foods are tastier than hay but, like humans, rabbits need to eat a balanced diet not just the foods that taste best. If your rabbit always has dry food available, it has no reason to eat hay. It's like sitting a child down with a free choice between cake and vegetables.

Feed tastier hay. Not all hay is the same; it comes in different varieties. Try different types of hay to see which your rabbit likes best. Make sure the hay is good quality and stored well.

How to Encourage Hay Eating

Despite the importance of hay, many rabbits are reluctant to eat it due to the lack of nutritious hay available. Not eating hay is a major factor in dental disease and illnesses relating to the gut, so putting in some hard work to encourage your rabbit to eat more has real health benefits.

Domestic bunnies haven't changed physically from their wild cousins and their bodies are designed to graze throughout the day.

Rabbits need three different food types for a healthy diet:

A constant supply of good quality hay or fresh grass to nibble on (85-90%)
A variety of fresh veg and leafy greens (10%)
Small quantity of high-fibre pellets (5%)

How to Encourage Hay Eating

Rabbits are more likely to eat hay if it is near them. Rabbits often like to eat whilst they are using their litter tray or resting so place hay in these areas. You may need to experiment to work out where your rabbit prefers the hay left. Keep it in sight!

Incorporate hay into toys and games. Some rabbits do not think of hay as food. Incorporating hay in to play activities that encourage your rabbit to pull, bite and chew at the hay can help them to start tasting and nibbling on it. For example, try blocking a tunnel or box with hay so your rabbit has to remove the hay to get through.

Associate hay with food your rabbit likes. Try mixing dry food, vegetables, fresh grass or herbs (dry or fresh) into the hay so your rabbit has to dig through the hay to find food. Whilst searching through the hay your rabbit may accidentally eat some and realise hay doesn't taste so bad after all.

Suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals. Complements any Kaytee fortified food. Provides added nutritional variety. High fibre hay aids in digestive health. Lower protein and calcium supports urinary health.
