Rabbit Hay

Best Hay for Rabbits — Tested by the Rabbit Supplies Team

Hay is 80% of a healthy adult rabbit's diet. Quality matters: dust-light, second-cut timothy is what we recommend for adults, with alfalfa reserved for rabbits under 7 months or pregnant does. We have tested 12 hay brands with our team of 4 rabbits and only list the ones that pass our dust, freshness and palatability checks.

What to look for

• Cut: 2nd cut timothy for adults, alfalfa for juniors
• Color: green to green-brown, never yellow or brown
• Smell: sweet and grassy, never musty
• Dust: minimal — heavy dust causes respiratory issues
