Supreme Petfoods Science Selective Timothy Hay 2kg, natural

Product Information

High-quality hay is the cornerstone of a rabbit’s healthy diet. It’s imperative for everything from proper digestion to proper tooth wear. Rabbits are meant to eat, as a minimum, their body size in hay on a daily basis. With that said, this feeding hay absolutely meets your rabbits’ needs. With the potential for a less active lifestyle and without the need to expend extra energy on combating the effects of outdoor temperatures, some indoor rabbits can have a tendency to put on excess weight. To help keep them at their ideal weight and to ensure they always look their best, out House Rabbit food features high fibre (22% crude fibre), no added sugar and linseed for healthy skin and coat. The average rabbit (weighing 2.5kg) will require 75g of Fibafirst per day (30g of food per kg of body weight per day), although because Fibafirst has a nutritional profile that is similar to hay, it may be fed freely, however weight should be monitored regularly. We would recommend feeding your rabbit their pet food twice a day – once in the morning and again in the evening. A small handful of suitable fresh vegetables should also be provided along with good quality hay and clean drinking water.

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. 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.Pellets are such s tiny part of the diet (just one tablespoon a day) but overfeeding pellets and not filtering their drinking water is where they get most of their calcium from so it’s best to watch the quantity of pellets you feed and filter water to control their calcium intake. Choosing a low calcium pellet can help. 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.” The base of the mixture is Timothy Hay, which is a great source of fibre. It also includes dandelion, which helps maintain urinary tract health, and marigold, which helps strengthen the immune system. The one-kilogram bag of hay is compressed and expands as much as eight times its compressed size.
