Brome Hay is a companion grass hay that is nutritionally
similar to Western Timothy. Although it is not as green,
your rabbit will love its cured taste and smell
Brome hay is a grass hay that is high in fiber, low in
protein, and low in calcium all of which helps keep the
gastrointestinal tract of all small herbivores functioning
properly. A high-fiber diet will also lower the incidence
of soft stools, intestinal gas and bloating.
Brome hay looks a lot like western timothy hay, but has
a wider blade. It has a different flavor that will add
variety to an animal's diet. Many have compared it to a
rich cured smell. Brome grass is a perennial that is grown
in Eastern Europe , Russia and Canada as well as the north-central
part of the United States.
Oxbow's Brome Hay, much like other grass hay, is high
in fiber and low in protein. It can be mixed with other
grass hays when you feed your pet. Animals seem to like
the variety. Mixing your grasses will encourage them to
eat more hay, which is always beneficial to the health
of the pet.
Hay is absolutely vital to the health of small herbivores.
It also provides a long-strand fiber source that is needed
to improve the digestive and intestinal functions by stimulating
the digestive system. When animals are fed free-choice
hay, it promotes their natural chewing behavior, helping
prevent molar spurs and other dental problems so common
in these small herbivores.
Bunny Brome can be fed free-choice to rabbits, guinea
pigs, chinchillas, prairie dogs and other herbivores as
an alternative to timothy, orchard grass, and oat hay.
Free-choice means that the feed is available at all times.
If they finish what is given, you need to give them more!
Hay should be used not only for nutritional purposes,
but also for mental stimulation and the promotion of natural
foraging behavior.
