Timothy HayTimothy Hay is a wonderful product - it has a mix of flat blade and stalk for a perfect mix of taste and high fibre content needed by rabbits and other small animals such as guinea pigs and chinchillas to ensure optimal digestive health. The protein and fibre levels help keep your pet`s gastrointestinal tract functioning properly.
Timothy Hay is better because it is straight from the farm; it is sun-dried naturally and cured, and hand sorted. It is also virtually free from pesticides - with the minimum legal requirements used. This makes it more fragrant and greener, and it smells better than most hays, making it more palatable. Timothy grass was unintentionally introduced to North America by early settlers, and was first described in 1711 by John Herd from plants growing in New Hampshire. Herd named the grass `herd grass` but a farmer named Timothy Hanson began to promote cultivation of it as a hay in about 1720, and the grass has been known by its present name since then.
Timothy Hay is more suitable for the adults of the breeds due to the low calcium content.
