Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rhodes hay better than Timothy Hay?
Rhodes hay is an outstanding alternative to Timothy. It is comparable in fibre and lower in protein and calcium. Rhodes hay is good for dental health and digestion, often being less dusty and encourages natural foraging behaviour.
How long will 1kg of Rhodes hay last my small animals?
1kg of Rhodes hay will last 1 guinea pig between 10 and 15 days. 1kg of Rhodes hay will last 1 rabbit 5 to 7 days. This varies based on the size, age, environment, and nutritional requirements of individuals.
How do I know I am feeding high quality rhodes hay?
Nesty Boxes provides a feed test with each cut. This ensures it meets the nutritional specifications advertised and is up to standard for small animals to consume. The Rhodes hay is grown locally in South Australia and is managed by our agronomist to ensure the highest of quality. It will always be free from weather damage and is stored undercover.
What is a feed test?
A feed test or forage analysis is a laboratory test that analyses the nutritional analysis of a product. Tests usually include moisture content, dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, energy, and more to assist users with their decision on hay. Nesty Boxes conducts a feed test on each cut of Rhodes hay to guarantee specifications including a low sugar content for your guinea pigs or rabbits. Each purchase of Rhodes hay comes with a copy of its forage test which includes its water soluble carbohydrates (sugar) content.
Do I need to feed anything else to my small animal when feeding rhodes hay?
Guinea Pigs and Rabbits should have unlimited access to hay. On average, healthy adult guinea pigs eat 80 to 100g per head per day and rabbits 150 to 200g per head per day. Supplementing your small animals diet with the Furry Friends Snack Pack or another ration will assist with vitamin and mineral requirements. Particularly for guinea pigs who need vitamin c as they cannot produce their own.
What other forage options can I feed to my guinea pig or rabbit?
If hay availability becomes limited, growing your small animals forage is a great way at meeting fibre requirements. Nesty Boxes offers multiple forage options that are low in sugar and rich in minerals suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs. The Furry Friends Pet Pasture and Furry Friends Timothy Grass are available online. These are easy to grow in your back yard or seedling trays and make feeding fibre easy!
