However, hay farming offers great advantages, especially in winter: much lower weights of feed have to be moved, rations are usually composed of only two ingredients (hay and supplementary feed) and do not have to be mixed. This hay also comes in a resealable bag so there’s less mess and it’s nice and fresh right down to the last tasty stalk! Rabbits generally prefer to munch on hay while they’re resting and they also like to ‘poo and chew’, so put a pile of hay in their favourite resting places and hang a hay rack above their litter tray. Unlike cats and dogs, rabbits don’t need to be starved before surgery, so there is no need to withhold their food or water.
