Description
Rabbits and guinea pigs have digestive systems adapted to a high-fiber herbivorous diet. High-quality indigestible fiber aids in moving food through the digestive system and prevents GI stasis. Additionally, chewing hay helps grind down their continuously growing teeth, preventing overgrowth and associated diseases.
Why Fescue Hay? Fescue hay is a high-fiber, low-protein grass hay, making it ideal for adult rabbits and guinea pigs. Unlike lucerne, which is higher in protein, fescue hay helps avoid obesity and other health issues associated with high-protein diets.
