ALL ABOUT HAY FOR RABBITS 🌾

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I had no clue you knew this much knowledge on hay 😂 I’ve learned so much now, especially the different types of crops!

Hi Victoria!!

[@lolathebunny6735]

Hello! I love your videos about bunnies and hamsters! You have taught me so much about my animal care!

[@Trainingthroughlife]

Lol I can’t believe you sat through that whole thing 😂 ily 😂

[@nicollettepfeifer4435]

Hi Victoria!! Can you make more rabbit videos please!!!

[@acrustysheep]

How can someone talk about hay for 35 minutes lol you are so dedicated

[@626maggie]

I took an entire college class on hay& pasture analysis from a very dedicated professor, you’d be surprised at the number of people who can talk about hay for hours and hours 😂

[@aspenzoo1503]

I never thought I would be interested in watching a video of 35mins about hay :D Thank you for this!

[@melissajusten337]

Btw your hair looks AMAZING in this video I just can't!!!

[@kattranger]

Definitely check your local farmers for hay! Your supporting a local business, it's better for the environment, and the hay is usually much higher quality than Oxbow and Kaytee. Some will even deliver to your door or sell chew sticks (mine sells apple and birch!)

Not in my experience. I’ve bought from farms before and found rocks, leaves, and straw in the bail…. Plus, a lot of it was brown

[@katehuffman2252]

My bunny loves his hay! I recently started buying a variety of the small bags that Oxbow sells including: timothy, meadow, oat, and orchard. My rabbit, Louie, seems to greatly enjoy the additional flavors & scents of hay. Not only that, but I’ve found that he prefers one brand’s timothy hay to another. I didn’t really think about different fields having different flavors, but it totally makes sense.

[@Lilee177]

I don't know if you knew this - but the reason clovers are grown in hay fields is because their roots keep the ground healthier and therefore makes the hay higher quality and higher yielding :)

[@tacherie]

Great info thank you for sharing.

Interesting.

[@brianafrazier2731]

I think it's great that you talked about this! Hay is so important in people need to talk about it more than they do.

I have gotten a lot of product there and my rabbit loves them. I have a video on my channel of my bunny, he loves green leaf and red leaf lettuce among other lettuce. His favorite treats are the organic rose Petals from 101 rabbits shop.

@@claireailabouni4299 I that 101rabbits has had rabbits much longer, she is very experienced when it comes to rabbits. I've been watching her Channel longer, but I do watch Lennon the bunny. Lennon the bunny is who encouraged me to make a room for my new bunny. I don't think the free roaming is something everyone can do so I don't like how much she talks about the fact that rabbits should be free roamed. It is ideal for some rabbits but not all. I really do trust Haley a lot because she has so much experience and she has a whole shop dedicated to rabbits.

So...hay is different depending on where it's grown, like wine! My guinea pig died around Thanksgiving two years ago...so uh, two years ago..and today I found a piece of her Timothy hay on my sock!

In South Africa we don’t stock lots of Timothy Hay (and we don’t have Oxbow brand anywhere) and when I did introduce my rabbit to Timothy she would not eat it at all and still won’t.

Mix the treat hay with the regular then slowly remove treat hay.. you should be able to accomplish this within one week really within a few days

[@aurajudy8487]

Having a handful of tasty herbs at home is superuseful. My bun is a heavy hay eater and has perfect teeth, but we noticed his teeth were sightly uneven some weeks ago. He was feeling unwell due to E. Cuniculi (no organ nor neurological damage, we found it pretty soon) and was munching less hay than he uses to, so we mixed herbs with the hay and he starting munching as usual. Now teeth are normal again and has returned to normal hay eating (no herbs needed), this way we prevented a stressful dental exploration while recovering from E. Cuniculi.

Unfortunately there are no rabbit shelters in Puerto Rico and sometimes they start selling them as soon as 4 weeks old (I understand they shouldn't be weaned off milk completely 'til 6 weeks? Please correct me if I'm wrong). So, in a case like this, would you recommend alfalfa hay alone or would an alfalfa + timothy hay or orchard grass combination be better? Until the 3 month mark, I mean.
