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.

Rips it out of my hand

My little mini rex was not super enthusiastic about hay before, but this stuff is like his favorite thing now. He actually jumps up to grab it when I go to put it in his bowl.

Great company Great Hay

I purchased ten pounds. 5 bags. I opened up the second one already. The first and second bags are perfect. Beautiful hay, and my bunny loves it. I was buying hay from another company that says they are the best handpicked hay company but I always had to sit there and sift it, because it was terrible. It was frustrating. I'm so glad I found this company and my bunny is happy.

Carington (my bunny) enjoys your hay

Carington (my bunny) enjoys your hay. He’s had the first cut special blend and the first cut original. There’s hardly any dust and the texture is very good fir his teeth. . I believe it’s much better than what he has been eating. That company has went downhill. I will be ordering his hay from your company from now on.

Best hay on the market!

I’ve been purchasing Bell’s hay for my rabbits for about 6 months now. If I run out, my bunnies are not happy, they won’t eat any other brand, so I’ve had to up my subscription to 10lbs! Thank you for having great quality hay for us to feed to our babies.

Excellent, safe hay!

My old lady bun loves this hay, as does my daughter's "hay disposal" of a bunny. And I love it because it has no herbicides in it. I know I can safely put our bunny poop on my garden without fear of killing all my plants!

My hoppers LOVE this hay!

I cannot believe how excited my rabbits were when I opened the first bag! It smells so fresh and (chocolatey?)I hate having to toss old and soiled hay. This stuff really gets munched quickly!

I have a rescue bun that was not a good hay eater. This hay has increased his hay consumption by at least 50 percent. The hay is fresh and very clean. It was packaged well and shipped the was same day . I will definitely be reordering . Thanks for getting more healthy hay into my bunny.

As usual Bell provides the best quality of hay

As usual Bell provides the best quality of hay I’ve ever gotten Love! I had to get a “name” brand the other day because I was late ordering and I’m currently talking to their customer service for a refund because the quality is SO poor in comparison I refuse to feed it to my rabbit! It literally looked like law mower trimmings someone raked up and sold me for an unreasonable price and it not fit for my rabbit! I’m so glad my order came later that day so u could feed my bunny the quality hay he’s come to love andexpect!!

nothing else worked

our bunny is getting up there in age and he had a hard time through his last shed. zenny had a lot of fur in his poop and wouldn't eat the timothy hay from chewy, but he ate the bellfast hay. we were getting desperate and thankfully bellfast popped up so we tried it. and it worked! thank you.

Older Bunny Loves 1st Cut

Older Bunny Loves 1st Cut.
Bunny stopped eating, I thought it was the beginning of the end, it took 4 tries, including second cut, before she started to eat again. Within 2 days her poop and fur were back to healthy, and she is bouncing around like she usually does, thank goodness.
