Hay helps prevent obesity, maintain a healthy urinary system, avoid overgrown teeth, and improves overall health. A high fiber diet will also decrease the incidents of intestinal gas, soft stool, and bloating, all of which can lead to costly vet bills.
Unlimited high quality hay should be available to your small animal at all times. Hay is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system as well as proper teeth maintenance. Rabbit and guinea pig teeth continue to grow throughout their lives making hay essential to avoid dental and digestive difficulties.
