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.

And if something isn’t right? We’ll make it right. We offer quick support, easy subscription options, and a dedication to real customer service, not automated replies.

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.

I found you guys online looking for hay for my buns

I found you guys online looking for hay for my buns. I was loyal to a competitor but the quality has been going down. My last order has a box full of dried out and brown hay. I can’t and won’t try to feed that to my boys. I came here and bought some to try. They LOVED it, I loved it…. I’m impressed! I love how it is packaged individually and keeps it fresh. I’m back here now ordering more and will now be a loyal customer. Thank you!! Xoxo Geo & Mouse

Ginni loves

Ginni loves it! She dove into the hay and didn’t come up for air for almost 20 minutes! She has never reacted to fresh hay like that before! I swear I’m giving her too much at night but there’s hardly any left in the morning…unfortunately she becoming very disapproving and starts planning my demise around noon (I give her fresh hay, sticks and a treat about 5 every day)

My six guinea pigs and my free roaming rabbits all love this hay very much

Wonderful Hay The Best

My bunny wasn’t eating much hay, but this was a life changer. He’s eating more hay and his Pooh is so much. Eater and he is gaining weight

My Dutch rabbit

My Dutch rabbit, Coco, is eleven years young and has always been fussy about his hay. He likes softer texture hay so this second cut Timothy hay blend is perfect. It is always clean and fresh with no waste. We will continue to order this hay and I’ve recommended it to my friend for her rabbit.

Must have quality hay

I’ve ordered a variety on the hay and my rabbits seem to really like them; been ordering from Bell for almost a year. The bags are always packed full and no scrappy pieces like the ones you get at the pet store. I love opening the bags and catching the scent of healthy hay grass for my buns! I encourage you to try this company and they deliver in a very timely manner too!

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
