Product description
1st cut timothy hay is considered a great option for small pets, like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas, for several reasons:
High Fiber Content: 1st cut timothy hay is higher in fiber compared to later cuts. Fiber is essential for your pet's digestive health, helping to maintain proper gut function and prevent obesity, gastrointestinal stasis, and other digestive issues.
Dental Health: Small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs need to chew on fibrous materials to naturally wear down their teeth. The tougher texture of 1st cut hay encourages more chewing and helps prevent dental problems which are common in small pets.
Low in Sugar and Protein: 1st cut timothy hay typically has a lower sugar and protein content than the 2nd and 3rd cuts, which makes it more suitable for adult rabbits and guinea pigs.
Encourages Natural Behaviors: The longer, tougher strands of 1st cut hay mimic the type of hay that small pets might encounter in their natural environment, encouraging foraging and chewing behaviors, which are important for their mental and physical well-being.
