What pets should eat timothy hay?

Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas should eat timothy hay as a staple diet. Other small pets like tortoises, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice also enjoy occasional timothy hay snacks for chewing and enrichment. Consult your vet for the best advice on what to feed your small pet.

How much timothy hay should I feed each day?

Feed rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas as much timothy hay as they will eat. These pets should have unlimited access to timothy hay throughout the day. You can also offer free-choice hay to other small herbivorous pets like degus, mice, rats, and gerbils.

Is timothy hay better than other types of hay?

Timothy hay is usually considered better than other types of hay for adult rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas due to its high fiber and low protein and calcium content. However, young or nursing small pets may benefit from other types of hay. Ask your vet for tailored guidance on what kind of hay to feed at every life stage.
