Hay Cube?

Question
Hi. I was wondering if rabbits can be fed Kaytee Natural Timothy Hay Cubes daily instead of loose hay? Or should the hay cubes just be fed as a treat once in a while?

Answer
Hi Vanessa,

no, you cannot feed them hay cubes instead of loose hay. Hay cubes are not long fiber, they are small pieces of hay compressed together. They don't do the same thing for rabbits like the long loose hay does.

Loose hay gives them long fiber strands that help push hair and keep the gut moving. Hay cubes are more like pellets than long loose hay.

They should only be given as treats once in awhile.
