Small pets like rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs should be fed large quantities of Timothy hay or some good quality food having Alfalfa hay every day. They have immense dietary benefits. They are rich in fibre content and needed for proper functioning of your rabbit’s digestive system. There are some dental benefits as well. As your pet chews this hay, it wears down and cleans their constantly growing cheek teeth.
