Hay as food for rodents: Hay should not just be a supplement for your rodent, but the basis of their diet. Hay is the most important staple food for our rodents and should form the basis of their diet.

The responsible pet owner will put together a varied and versatile rodent diet at Fall, but will give hay the largest share. This should always be available in sufficient freshness and quantity so that the small rodents can help themselves to it at all times. Hay is very important for keeping rodents healthy.

The one health aspect that makes a large proportion of hay in rodent food desirable is the rodent's special digestive system. Their intestines always need something to do in order to fulfill their function properly. Subsequent feed pushes the food residues already in the intestines further until they are finally digested and excreted. However, if nothing follows for a long time, the digestive tract quickly comes to a standstill. These digestive disorders can be prevented with hay if it is always available to the rodents. The animals then have the opportunity to keep their digestion going themselves.

Only hay can ensure permanent intestinal activity without rodents ingesting too many nutrients that make them fat. Owners must therefore be careful not to give their pets too much other dry food so as not to deprive them of their appetite for hay.
