Newhay

There are three parts to a Timothy Hay plant, all of which provide the ideal feed for herbivores. Hay for feeding small pets should contain approximately 7% protein and 30% fibre. Varieties such as Newhay's Timothy Hay are better quality than meadow hays because they have a high fibre content, are more palatable and great for chewing and maintaining healthy teeth.

From sowing and growing the right variety of grain, harvesting at the right time, when the seed head is in full bloom, to processing and packing, everything takes place on our North Yorkshire farm. We have hundreds of acres of fertile, alluvial soil on which to grow our hay, whilst our storage and processing takes place within just two tractor miles, at our purpose built warehouse and factory.

From high performance race horses to domestic rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, all herbivores large and small will thrive on Timothy Hay from Newhay. Timothy Hay is a premium forage and feed for herbivores (large and small) because it is high in fibre and low in sugar. It is also very palatable and tasty to eat.

Quality Timothy Hay is essential for rabbits because it is high in fibre, low in sugar and it tastes really good! Hay should make up 85-95% of a rabbit's daily diet, which means the average domestic pet should be eating c. 1kg of hay every week. Having enough hay is important because it prevents obesity and it also helps rabbits maintain a healthy gut function as well as healthy teeth.

Quality Timothy Hay is essential for guinea pigs because it is high in fibre and low in sugar. It should make up the bulk of a guinea pigs daily diet but although Timothy Hay provides a natural source of vitamin C, it does not provide enough for guinea pigs to thrive on, and supplements are recommended.
