Description
Kaytee Alfalfa Cubes are tightly compressed blocks of sun-cured alfalfa, and they earn their place with growing animals. Alfalfa is higher in protein and calcium than timothy, which is what young, growing small pets need and what makes these cubes a useful supplement rather than a plain treat. The compression is deliberate: your rabbit or guinea pig has to gnaw the block apart, which grinds down continuously growing teeth and keeps a bored animal busy for far longer than loose hay does. No artificial colours or preservatives — just sun-cured alfalfa, from America's favourite hay brand.

Choosing between alfalfa and timothy comes down to life stage, and it is worth getting right. Alfalfa's protein and calcium support growth, but the same calcium is what contributes to urinary sludge and stones in adult rabbits. Use these cubes for young, growing animals, for pregnant or nursing females, or as an occasional treat for a healthy adult, and make timothy the everyday hay once your pet is past about seven months.
