Hay for Rabbits – Essential Nutrition for a Healthy Bunny
Hay is the cornerstone of a healthy rabbit diet. At Bunny Bistro, we understand how vital high-quality hay is for supporting your rabbit’s wellbeing. Rich in fibre and low in fat, hay plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy digestive system, preventing obesity, and supporting natural dental wear.
Rabbits have continuously growing teeth, and a daily supply of coarse, fibrous hay helps keep them trimmed and healthy. It also encourages natural foraging behaviours, reducing boredom and promoting better mental and physical health.
It is recommended that hay makes up 80–90% of your rabbit’s daily diet. Premium hays such as timothy hay and meadow hay are ideal options, offering a balance of nutrition and texture that closely mimics what rabbits would eat in the wild.
At Bunny Bistro, our UK-grown hay is carefully harvested and dried to lock in nutrients, offering your rabbit the very best in taste, health, and natural enrichment.

You might be wondering - what’s the difference between all our hay box options? Let’s hop right in and explore!
1st Cut Timothy Hay
Coarser and full of fibrous stems and flower heads, first cut timothy hay is ideal for rabbits. It supports dental health, weight control, and digestion - perfect for buns who need tough chewable hay and a high-fibre, low-fat diet.
2nd Cut Timothy Hay
Leafier and softer in texture, second cut hay is packed with protein and micronutrients. It's great for fussy eaters, underweight pets, or those with dental issues. Still fibrous, but more palatable and easier to chew for all small pets.
Flower Box
Combining coarse, high-fibre first cut timothy hay with a fragrant flower mix, this hay encourages natural foraging and provides essential nutrients. Great for dental health, gut support, boredom busting, and a delicious variety in your rabbit’s daily diet.
