Zooply Meadow Hay is natural hay of Dutch quality, fresh from the land. This meadow hay is suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and other hay-eating rodents and forms an important base of the daily menu. Thanks to its fresh smell and natural texture, this hay is appealing to eat and to forage in. Good hay for rabbits and guinea pigs is essential in their daily diet and contributes to a varied diet.
Many small pets love hay that smells fresh and has a nice texture. Zooply Meadow Hay fits well with natural foraging behaviour, because animals like to search, pull and nibble in their hay. This way you offer not only an important base of the menu, but also extra enrichment in their environment. Want to make the hay extra interesting? You can sprinkle some flowers or herbs through it, for example. In our range you'll find a wide choice of herb mixes, flower mixes and loose herbs for extra variety.
What makes this packaging extra pleasant is that the hay is loose in the bag and not compressed. This makes it easy to take out of the pack and keeps the natural texture well preserved. That makes feeding a lot easier. This hay is also dust-free, which makes for a clean, pleasant product to use.
Hay should be available unlimited for rabbits, guinea pigs and other hay-eating rodents. It's an essential part of their daily diet. Hay naturally contains a lot of fibre and other nutrients. Fibre supports digestion and helps keep the gut moving well. Good gut function is important for small pets, so hay should never be missing from the enclosure.
It's best to offer hay in a hay rack. This keeps it clean and fresh. When animals walk over the hay, they often like it less. And if they do eat it, it can get dirty faster. So make sure your rabbit, guinea pig or rodent can reach it easily. This keeps the hay appealing and pleasant to eat.
Store the product dry and cool, so smell, quality and texture are well preserved. This keeps Zooply Meadow Hay pleasant to use for longer.
Hay should be available unlimited, all day long. A useful rule of thumb is that a rabbit eats roughly an amount of hay equal to its own body size; for a 2 kg rabbit that comes down to about 150 to 200 grams per day. Refresh the hay a few times a day with a fresh handful, even if the rack isn't completely empty yet.
Variety is best for your pet's gut health: the more variation in hay types, the wider the mix of fibre, herbs and grasses it gets. A schedule that works well in practice: 3 days Austrian alpine hay, 3 days German herb hay and 1 day meadow hay. This way you combine the premium softness of alpine hay, the tooth-wearing strength of herb hay, and meadow hay as a sturdy addition. Prefer to keep it simple? A mix of alpine hay and German herb hay is already a great combination.
Want to boost acceptance even more, or simply give your pet an extra treat? Then mix a handful of herb mix through the hay, on top in the hay rack. You'll often see your rabbit or guinea pig get noticeably more enthusiastic right away — it works with all hay types in the range.
Hay and straw look similar, but are very different: meadow hay is dried grass and serves as daily feed, rich in fibre and nutrients. Straw is the dried stalk of a grain crop, much coarser and lower in nutrients, and is mainly used as bedding or nesting material — not as feed. So always give your rabbit or guinea pig enough hay; straw is not a substitute for it.
Zooply stands for quality. We specialise in herbs and treats — precisely the areas where things most often go wrong for many pets. That's why our range is deliberately small per product group: we only offer the best option, nothing less. And we use it ourselves, every day, with our own animals.
