Short description
As a delicious source of essential fibre Timothy Hay not only helps digestive and dental health but also encourages natural foraging in your furry friends.
Timothy Hay feeding guide: 80% of your herbivore’s diet should consist of good quality hay, which means offering a fresh portion of hay approximately equal to the size of their body each day. (Remember – eating food the size of your body is good for herbivores, but bad for humans.)
Supplement the hay with a good quality pellet or nugget plus the occasional chew treat. Always make sure there’s fresh water available. Note: guinea pigs require additional Vitamin C so supplement daily with fresh leafy green vegetables.
Description
Strong in fibre, sweet in taste, Timothy Hay is much loved by rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small herbivores. Better yet, we’ve compressed 125L of hay into a compact 36L box to keep them chomping and chewing for longer.
The reason Timothy Hay appeals is the flavour – the sweetness of the grass makes it a furry-friend-favourite and encourages natural foraging. The texture is also important. Coarse and abrasive, Timothy Hay helps wear down and clean the teeth of herbivores.
Choosing a quality Timothy Hay has significant nutritional benefits for rabbits and guinea pigs too:
Lower calcium content promotes urinary health Can prevent bladder stones in some animals High in fibre to support good digestion To keep the quality premium, we grow our Timothy Hay in specific areas of New Zealand where the rich soil, crisp air and favourable climate provide the perfect conditions. Our hay is rigorously monitored to ensure the best result come harvest time. Moisture testing is systemically undertaken, and regular paddock inspections ensure the pasture is as weed-free as possible. From the field we then carefully examine our hay before packing – only the best is good enough.

Not greatThe quality varies (between good enough and bad) and if you get a bad batch, you'll get hay that is not timothy hay (maybe 40% timothy, 60% meadow) and will contain spiky plants (seen this happening more frequently in the meadow hay box). Good luck picking it out and having a fear of getting your fingers pricked.
If you are using timothy hay for your pet (eg Guinea Pig) that needs to have low calcium diet due to bladder issue, avoid this product and although a bit more expensive, get the smaller premium one instead.

Economical and Rabbits Love it!I have purchased Topflite Timothy Hay for several years now, both in bag and larger box. I have three rabbits and they all love it. It is definitely more economical to purchase the 4.5kg box and for the most part the quality is equal. I prefer the box as I try to eliminate plastic packaging as much as possible.
I would recommend this product if you have multiple bunnies. Could take one bun a very long time to get through it so for freshness, perhaps the 1.5kg bag would be better in that situation.
