Product Information

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. A guinea pig’s teeth are constantly growing and the hay works to wear down the teeth. If your piggies stop eating hay, their teeth will overgrow. 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. Glebe Farm Hay by the Bale or Half Bale– Straight from the farm – ideal if youhave several guinea pigs and go through lots of hay.

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.” Meadow Hay is made from grass that is harvested from pastures. This means it can contain a variety of grasses, plants, flower heads and seed heads. It has a better range of minerals and trace elements than single grass hays.When shopping around for hay, some may not say it is dust extracted but may be hand sortedor hand selected. The hand sorted hays are fine as the process of hand sorting eliminates most of the dust.

Because dust is a real danger to your guinea pig’s health, it’s important the hay has as little dust as possible. No hay will be 100% dust free but some are a lot dustier than others and should be avoided. During the harvesting of Supreme’s UK-grown Selective Timothy Hay, there are six specialist processes involved to help retain the finest quality, so that the tasty long stems remain intact and are bursting with all the nutrients that small pets love. The ingredient formula for this food includes a natural prebiotic, which helps promote digestive health in your rabbit. It’s also bolstered with vitamins and minerals. These added nutrients encourage healthier eyes and skin and a glossy, healthy coat. There are also natural antioxidants that help to improve the immune system.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. 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. 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. 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. The haylage is carefully collected into large square bales ready to be machine-dried – this process helps to retain the very best nutrients and appealing, natural colour that can otherwise be lost when the hay is dried (and bleached), by the sun’s UV rays.
