Burgess Excel Hedgerow Herbs Feeding Hay - 2.7kg

This hay should be fed freely each day. It should always be available and form the main part of your pet's diet, alongside their daily portion of nuggets and fresh water.

This particular feeding hay is formulated for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. For other small rodents like hamsters, gerbils, or mice, it's best to consult specific dietary recommendations for those species, as their needs can differ.

The hedgerow herbs, including nettle, provide natural vitamins and minerals that can contribute to overall health. Nettle, for example, is known to support urinary health in small herbivores.

Dust-extracted hay significantly reduces airborne particles, which helps to protect your pet's respiratory system from irritation and can lead to a cleaner home environment for you as well.

The fibrous nature and length of the hay strands encourage continuous chewing. This constant gnawing action is essential for naturally wearing down the continuously growing teeth of rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, preventing overgrowth and associated dental problems.

Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the bag tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture or contamination.

The high fibre content is generally beneficial for digestive health. However, if your pet has known sensitive digestion, introduce any new food, including this hay, gradually and monitor them closely. Consult your vet if you have specific concerns.

Ensure a constant supply of fresh hay is available. Try mixing a small amount of new hay with their current favourite hay. Check that the hay is stored correctly and remains fresh and fragrant. Some pets may take time to adjust to new types of hay or herbs.

Although dust-extracted, some settling may occur. Gently shake the hay before placing it in the rack. Ensure the storage area is clean and dry. If excessive dust persists, consider a different batch or storage method.

While the hay supports digestion, persistent issues require veterinary attention. Ensure the pet's overall diet is balanced and appropriate, and they have access to clean water. Consult your veterinarian for any health concerns.
