Description

Kaytee Timothy Hay Blend Cubes are compressed blocks of sun-cured timothy hay and sun-cured alfalfa, pressed tight enough that a rabbit or guinea pig has to work at them. That work is the point: the long-fibre hay grinds down continuously growing teeth while the chewing itself keeps a bored pet busy. The timothy and alfalfa blend sits between the two hays nutritionally — enough fibre to support digestion, with lower protein and calcium than straight alfalfa, which is what supports urinary health in adult animals. Grown in the USA, they work as a treat, a boredom-breaker or a fibre top-up alongside any Kaytee fortified food.

Key Features

  • Blend of sun-cured timothy hay and sun-cured alfalfa hay
  • Lower protein and calcium than straight alfalfa supports urinary health
  • High fibre content aids digestive health
  • Compressed cubes give teeth something to grind against

How to Use

  • Offer the cubes freely in a separate container from the daily food.
  • Keep treats to less than 20% of your small animal's total diet.
  • Feed Kaytee exact, Forti-Diet Pro Health or Fiesta Max daily as the complete diet.
  • Provide unlimited loose hay alongside the cubes — cubes supplement long-strand hay, they do not replace it.
  • Change food and add fresh water daily.

Cubes earn their place as the middle ground between loose hay and a treat: more chewing work than hay, more nutritional sense than a sugary drop. They are also useful for travel and for hay racks that loose strands fall straight through. Offer them in a separate container from the daily pellets so you can see what is actually being eaten, and keep unlimited loose hay available regardless — long-strand fibre is what keeps a small pet's gut moving.

Pick it up in store at Garoppo's Feed & Pet Supply in Vineland, NJ, or order online for fast local delivery.

No. Unlimited long-strand hay should stay the base of the diet — cubes are a supplement that adds fibre, variety and something to gnaw.
Offer them freely, but keep all treats to under 20% of the total diet so your pet still eats their pellets and hay.
The blend is lower in calcium than straight alfalfa, which is generally the safer choice for adult rabbits. Check with your vet if your rabbit has a diagnosed urinary condition.
Chewing compressed hay helps wear down continuously growing teeth. It is preventative — a vet needs to handle teeth that are already overgrown.
