Hay for Rabbits: Why Quality Matters & Who You Can Trust

Hay for Rabbits: Why Quality Matters & Who You Can Trust

 

When it comes to caring for your pet rabbit, few things are more important than choosing the right hay. Hay for rabbits isn't just a snack it's a cornerstone of their diet, crucial for digestive health, proper dental wear, and overall wellbeing. But with so many options on the market from big-box brands to questionable bulk orders it can be hard to know where to turn.

At Bell Feed Company, we make it simple: we’re a small, passionate business focused entirely on providing hay that’s fresh, clean, pesticide-free, and packed with care because your pet deserves the best.

 


Why Is Hay So Important for Rabbits?

Hay is more than just filler. It’s essential for:

  • Digestive health – Hay keeps your rabbit’s GI tract functioning properly.
  • Dental care – Constant chewing on coarse, fibrous hay naturally wears down their teeth.
  • Mental stimulation – Foraging in fresh hay is a natural behavior that supports a rabbit's happiness and well-being.

Veterinarians recommend hay makes up around 80% of a rabbit’s daily diet. So the type of hay you feed truly matters.


What Makes Our Hay Different?

In a sea of mass-produced hay, Bell Feed Company stands out for a few important reasons:

  • 🌾 Hand-Packed Freshness: Each bag is inspected and packed by hand, ensuring only the best makes it to your door.
  • 🍃 No Pesticides or Preservatives: Unlike some commercial options, we never treat our hay with chemicals to preserve color or shelf life.
  • 🌿 Locally and Responsibly Grown: Our hay is family-farmed with care and grown specifically for small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas.
  • 📦 Smart Packaging: Resealable bags keep your hay fresher for longer and make storage easy and clean.

Our customers often tell us how much greener, more fragrant, and more appetizing our hay is compared to what they’ve gotten at large pet supply stores.


Choosing the Right Hay for Your Rabbit

Rabbits have different preferences and needs depending on their age and activity level. That’s why we offer a variety of blends:

Not sure what your rabbit will love most? Try a sample of each! Many customers start that way and find the perfect fit.


Proper Hay Storage = Better Health

Even the best hay can lose its nutritional value if stored incorrectly. That’s why we package our hay in resealable, easy-to-store bags that keep moisture and dust out.

We always recommend:

  • Keeping hay in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoiding plastic bins without airflow (our bags are better!).
  • Using within a few months for best freshness.

When you choose us, you’re supporting a family-owned business that puts pets first—not profit. We know how important your rabbit is to you because we’re animal lovers, too. Every order is packed with the same level of care we’d give our own pets.

Our bunny goes crazy for this stuff

Our bunny goes crazy for this stuff. She loves the smell, loves the crunch, and is diving into her litter boxes constantly to chow down. I have no idea how she fits so much hay in such a tiny body

First purchase

I love how the company assures you that the hay is free from anything that should not be there. I loved how it was packaged too. My young guinea pig is eating it better than the other hay. Thank you

Great quality

My bunny loves this hay! Definitely better than Oxbow and I love that there’s no pesticides used so it’s healthier for my baby! I’m definitely switching to this company!

Amazing, fresh smelling hay

And my picky rabbit loves it!!!! He refused any hay until we discovered Bell Feed. The Timothy and Orchard is his favorite so far… Must try!

10 oz sample bag
2nd Cutting Timothy Hay Blend

Everything with this order was great. Shipped in a timely manner, no damage to package, hay sealed to insure freshness. The fresh hay aroma was delightful. The freshness is what my Sugar bunny likes also. Encourages her to eat more. She is enjoying the 2nd Cutting Timothy Hay Blend. We both think this variety is a winner.

10 oz sample bag
First Cutting Timothy Mix Hay Custom Blend

The hay was very fresh & I personally loved the smell. Sugar Bunny is a picky eater & had not been eating her hay as she should but seems to be very interested in this selection also along with the second cutting. Using different rooms, I placed a sufficient amount in each room daily. She definitely gravitated to the Custom Blend & Bell's Second cutting more than she did her former hay purchased from the Pet Store. The jury is still out on which cutting she prefers, but both selections are a winner to me for my hard to please picky little eater.

No dust at all!!!

My pigs love it and my cats love the giant box it came it!! Well worth the money!!!

Fantastic!

My tortoises really like it

Senior Bunnies Love it

Love this stuff and I have bought several different brands. There is very little dust in the bottom which means more of the product and my free roaming rabbit and my six guinea pigs loves this stuff.

Great product

I bought this for a pet rabbit and she is very fond of it. No noticable transition from the other brand I used previously. It is packed tightly in the bag so it goes farther than expected. I will buy it again.

Highly recommended!

Always fresh. Always packed well. Our bunny Bella jumps into the box as soon as I open it!

My rabbit loves this!!

I thought Noah really didn't like hay, turns out I was buying the wrong hay. I really like that it comes in separate 2lb bags to keep fresh.
