Are Hay Racks Necessary

Hay is the number one thing in a house rabbit’s diet (unless their human has a giant meadow full of fresh grass, which should be rare). Since hay plays such an important part in a rabbit’s life, it’s crucial to find hay racks or other solutions that help keep the hay dry and clean.

Should rabbits have access to hay all day?

Rabbits need at least one bundle of good quality hay that’s as big as they are every day! Good quality, fresh hay should be available at all times and, ideally, rabbits should have access to growing grass for grazing, or kiln-dried grass.

What happens if you dont give a rabbit hay?

Hay keeps the gut moving Blockages can often be fatal. If a rabbit doesn’t eat enough hay then this can slow down the rabbit’s intestinal functions and cause serious problems eg. GI Stasis (see below).
