You had me at “Hay” - Timothy Hay and its vital role in keeping your furry friend happy and healthy.

Timothy hay - I’m sure you have heard of it, but what makes it the superior hay and how will it benefit your furry friend? Just like humans and chocolate, grass hay should make up a substantial part of your pets diet and should be available for them at all times to forage and graze on.

Keep things movin’

Timothy hay is essential for the proper functioning of your small pet's digestive system. Being high in fiber, nutrients are absorbed from the chewed hay, which aids the passage of food as it moves through their small and large intestine.

Say Cheese!

Rabbits, Guinea pigs and Chinchillas teeth are open rooted, meaning that they grow constantly throughout their life. Having a constant supply of hay available for munching will help wear down their teeth to prevent overgrowth, which could cause severe pain and infection. The indigestible fiber contained in Timothy hay will help with the wearing down process, ensuring your pets maintain their perfect smile.

Maintain those luscious locks

You know what they say, ‘you are what you eat’ - and it's true! When your furry friend is feeling good on the interior, you’ll be sure to know by the exterior. Soft fur/hair that gives off a sparkling shine is a great indicator of a healthy pet and with Timothy hay being a key feature in their diet, this will be assured.

Healthy body, healthy mind

Providing a constant supply of high quality hay like timothy hay for your small animal to munch on will help to keep their little minds stimulated. The exciting variety of tastes & textures available all around their living space will keep your pets and their mouths moving, and their brain cogs turning.

Keeping them engaged with the constant foraging and grazing encouraged by hay will also help to discourage destructive behaviours that can be brought on by boredom - a busy animal is a happy animal.
