BEAPHAR - Timothy, timothy hay

What is timothy hay?

Phleola hay, also known as Timothy or Phleum pratense, is a perennial grass native to Europe. It is widely grown for hay, particularly in temperate regions of the world. Timothy is recognizable by its straight stems, its flat, thin leaves and its spiked inflorescences. This grass prefers well-drained soil and grows best in areas with cool summers.

As a source of fodder, Timothy hay is particularly valued for its high nutritional quality, especially when harvested at the right time, i.e. just before flowering. It is high in fiber, making it beneficial for herbivore digestion, and has a moderate protein content. It is used as food for many species such as horses, dairy cows and of course rabbits and rodents.

Advice from LePetitRongeur on the use of hay

The amount of hay in the diet of rabbits and herbivorous rodents can vary depending on several factors, including age, weight, physical activity and health. However, a general rule is to provide unlimited access to high quality hay at all times.

• Typically, an adult rabbit or rodent consumes its own size of hay each day. For example, an average-sized rabbit (around 2 to 4 kilograms) will eat around 2 to 4 handfuls of hay per day. This may vary depending on individual needs.
• Make sure your pet always has access to fresh, clean hay. It must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week .
• Hay should not be the only source of food for your herbivorous furball. He should also have access to fresh vegetables, quality pellets appropriate for his age and size , clean, fresh water, and occasional treats.
