Do you know that in order to keep your rabbit’s teeth and tummies healthy they need to eat their own body weight in hay every day? That’s a lot of grass and hay so it needs to be good! Bedding hay is good to sleep on but lacks the nutritional values of feeding hay.
Burgess Excel Long Stem Feeding Hay is imported Timothy Hay grown on a Yorkshire farm in England, cut at the right time and dried within 48 hours. It is high in fibre which aids digestion, whilst the long stems of hay satisfy both chewing for dental health and natural foraging giving rabbits the emotional enrichment they need. It also comes in a resealable bag so there’s less mess and it’s nice and fresh right down to the last tasty stalk!
- Stimulates chewing, good for dental health
- High in beneficial fibre, promotes digestive health
- Dust extracted for respiratory health
- Encourages foraging, providing emotional enrichment
- Fresh fragrance, irresistible to rabbits, guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas
- 100% natural
Why Burgess Hay is so good
There are three parts to a Burgess Hay plant, all of which provide the ideal feed for herbivores. Hay for feeding small pets should contain approximately 7% protein and 30% fibre. Varieties such as Burgess Hay are better quality than Teff and Eragrostis hays in South Africa because they have a high fibre content, are more palatable and great for chewing and maintaining healthy teeth. Teff and Eragrotis hay in South Africa on the other hand is a softer, finer, less fibrous type of hay.
Feeding Tips
Burgess Excel Long Stem Feeding Hay is a complimentary feed for rabbits. It should be fed freely and provided fresh each day alongside Burgess Excel Nuggets. Always ensure clean fresh water is available.

Composition
Timothy Hay 100%.
Sticking to The Excel Feeding Plan will ensure your rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas get the right amounts of fibre in their diet. The Excel Feeding Plan was developed by the world's leading small-animal vets, to provide a perfect daily balance of fibre and nutrition.
These premium quality Feeding Hay and Grass products should form the majority of your pets’ diet. They are especially good for dental health as the gnawing action required to eat them helps to wear down teeth. The teeth of rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas are constantly growing and overgrown teeth can be the cause of potentially fatal problems. Hays also play a vital role in digestive and emotional health as they provide the bulk of the diets’ indigestible fibre and encourage foraging.
Excel Tasty Nuggets are a single component food and are high in 'Beneficial Fibre' which means they're great for digestive health. All Burgess Excel Nuggets have added vitamins, minerals and prebiotics to help with healthy eyes, skin and coat.
These delicious, natural and healthy snacks are ideal for 'Fibrevores' as they promote emotional health, by preventing boredom. They can also be used to encourage bonding and interaction between you and your pet. They can be fed daily, because they're packed with 'Beneficial Fibre' and made with natural ingredients. Some are specifically designed to be fed by hand which helps pets to get comfortable with human attention.
Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas can be fed fresh greens to give additional nutrients and to provide some variety. You need to be careful about what you feed them, and how much. Fruits can be fed, and are a great source of extra nutrients, but only feed in very small amounts as they can be high in sugar. Avoid feeding anything that grows from bulbs as these can be dangerous.
A plentiful supply of fresh water should always be available. Change it daily in warm weather and ensure it hasn't frozen over during winter months.

a high quality product. My guinea pigs love it! It's quite nice because of the longer strands I can use it to stuff boxes etc for them to tunnel in.

Bunny's two favorite things are eating & pooping. With this hay he's extremely happy doing both at the same time.
