FAQ
What is a herbivore?
Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. This includes hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas and other common small animal pets.
Why does a herbivore need hay?
Feeding hay to an herbivore is not an option; it is a necessity. A high quality grass hay should be available at all times. Hay not only provides the roughage essential to maintaining proper teeth wear, but it is vital to maintaining a healthy, functioning gastrointestinal system. They need a diet high in fiber and low in carbohydrates to prevent diarrhea and other digestive complications.

is this hay safe for gerbils?
Answer by • Nov 05, 2019
Gerbils are herbivores and require and enjoy moderate to large handfuls of hay or orchard grass several times a week. They like to play in it, nibble it and add it to their nests. Mix and match among the following, all-natural, farm-fresh grass hays: Western Timothy, Orchard Grass, Oat Hay, Botanical Hay and Organic Meadow Hay. Hamsters and gerbils especially enjoy Oat Hay, which often contains tasty immature seed heads. Gerbils should avoid alfalfa hay.
