Premium Grass Hay for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
Origins Fescue Hay Mini Bale – Premium Grass Hay for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
Support your small animal's health naturally with Origins Fescue Hay – a premium-quality, Australian-grown grass hay that delivers essential fibre to maintain optimal digestion and dental health.
Why Hay Matters
Rabbits and guinea pigs are strict herbivores, with digestive systems specially adapted to process a high-fibre diet. Indigestible fibre is vital for keeping food moving through the gastrointestinal tract and preventing serious conditions like GI stasis. Additionally, both species have teeth that grow continuously throughout life, and the natural chewing action required to consume hay helps to wear down teeth and prevent dental overgrowth or disease.
Why Choose Fescue Hay?
Fescue is a grass hay that is naturally high in fibre and low in protein – the ideal combination for adult guinea pigs and rabbits. Unlike protein-rich hays like lucerne (alfalfa), Fescue Hay supports healthy weight management and reduces the risk of obesity-related health issues in adult animals. It’s also suitable for younger pets when combined with a balanced diet that meets their growth needs.
This palatable, coarse hay mimics the natural diet of wild herbivores, promoting regular foraging behaviour while delivering essential nutrients to support overall well-being.
Feeding Guidelines:
Break off a generous portion of Origins Fescue Hay each day and place it in your pet’s enclosure. Ensure hay is always freely available — it should make up the bulk of your rabbit or guinea pig’s diet.
