Kaytee Timothy Hay Mini Bales – Natural Hay for Rabbits and Small Pets
Kaytee Timothy Hay Mini Bales are premium, all-natural hay for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small pets, pressed into convenient mini bales. Hay is the single most important part of a small herbivore’s diet – it should make up around 80% of what they eat every day. It keeps the digestive system moving, wears down constantly growing teeth, and keeps pets busy with natural chewing and foraging. Made from sun-cured timothy grass grown in the USA, this 24 oz (680 g) pack makes feeding quality hay simple, tidy and mess-free.
Why Good Hay for Rabbits and Small Pets Matters
Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas have teeth that never stop growing. Chewing long strands of hay is what naturally wears them down – without enough hay, teeth can overgrow and cause painful dental problems. Their digestive systems also rely on a steady flow of long fibre to keep the gut moving. A diet low in hay can lead to gut stasis, a serious condition where digestion slows or stops. Unlimited fresh hay, every day, is the best protection against both.
Why Vets Recommend Timothy Hay for Rabbits
Timothy hay is lower in protein and calcium than alfalfa hay, which is why vets recommend timothy hay for rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas once they are adults. Alfalfa is richer and better suited to young, growing animals, while too much of it can cause weight gain and bladder problems in adults. For a softer, sweeter change of texture, you can also mix in Orchard Hay.

How to Feed Hay for Rabbits and Guinea Pigs
Offer fresh timothy hay every day, in unlimited amounts – your pet should always have hay available.
A good guide is a pile of hay at least as big as your pet, every day.
Break off a section of the mini bale and fluff it up in a hay rack, feeder or corner of the enclosure.
Replace any hay that gets wet or dirty.
Add a small amount of fresh greens and good-quality pellets, such as Kaytee Nourish and Protect Adult Rabbit food.
Guinea pigs can’t make their own vitamin C, so add a vitamin C source such as Kaytee Super C Bites.
Always provide fresh, clean water.
Storage Tips
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack open or loosely closed so air can circulate – hay needs to breathe to stay fresh. Don’t use hay that smells musty or looks mouldy.
