Pillow Wad Alfalfa Hay is a UK-sourced, dust-extracted and unchopped hay providing concentrated nutrition for rabbits, guinea pigs and other suitable small animals.
Unlike everyday grass hays, alfalfa is naturally higher in protein, calcium and energy, making it particularly suited to young growing animals under 6 months, nursing females and animals recovering from illness or injury. For healthy fully grown adults, it is best offered in smaller amounts as an occasional nutritious treat alongside their normal grass hay.
The long-strand texture provides plenty of natural fibre while helping make feeding more interesting and encouraging natural chewing behaviour.
100% Alfalfa Hay.
Suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and other suitable small animals.
Particularly useful for young animals under 6 months, nursing females and animals requiring additional nutrition during recovery.
For young, growing or nursing animals, feed as part of an appropriately balanced diet with fresh drinking water available at all times.
For healthy fully grown adults, feed only in small amounts as an occasional treat, rather than as a replacement for their normal grass hay.
As animals mature or recover, transition onto an appropriate grass hay such as Timothy or meadow hay for their main daily hay supply.
