With this hay, JR Farm makes its contribution to an intact insect world because these meadows are not mown before 15 June. Until then, the colourful wild flowers, grasses and herbs remain in full bloom and the insects and bees can help themselves to this fragrant natural buffet. Only then is this natural meadow hay harvested, which is particularly rich in crude fibre and contains many herbs due to the long growing season.
Hay consists of dried grasses and herbs harvested from meadows.
It serves as staple food for pure herbivores and should always be available.
Hay is not only important for herbivores, seed-eaters also need it, especially to promote natural tooth abrasion.
Due to the lower energy content of hay and green fodder compared to seeds, for example, herbivorous animals need to consume larger quantities to fulfil their energy requirements.
Straw is an agricultural by-product consisting mainly of the dry stalks of cereal crops such as wheat, barley, oats and rye after the grains have been harvested. Straw is used as bedding, but is also eaten by rodents.
When buying hay, it is important to pay attention to various factors to ensure quality. The hay should be well dried to avoid mould growth and have a fresh smell. A greenish colour is ideal, while a pale or yellow colour may indicate overstocking or poor harvesting conditions. Hay should be free of weeds, thorns, and other foreign matter to prevent damage to rodents. It is also significant that the hay is as dust-free as possible, as dust can cause respiratory problems in the animals. A good mixture of leaves and stems is a prerequisite for a balanced diet.

Mein Hamster Theodorius hatte vom Futter hier drei Monate aggressiven Durchfall. Muss an der herausfordernden Qualität liegen, der arme ist sich sonst nur chicken-nuggets gewohnt…

Hay for your small animal
You can order hay online in various packaging sizes in our Swiss online shop.
Hay for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, coloured mice, gerbils, rats, degus, chinchillas, chipmunks and other rodents
Hay is an essential part of small animals' diet and should always be freely available. Hay is primarily needed for healthy tooth abrasion in rodents. It is therefore important to ensure that the hay has a varied structure. In addition to a good structure, the hay should smell fresh and have a green colour.
In our hay shop you will find fresh hay for rodents such as Swiss meadow hay, JR Farm mountain meadow hay or bunny fresh grass hay. You will also find many products such as Grünhopper Purgrün or Grünhopper Vital, which consists of a larger proportion of herbs and flowers. Also exciting are the PlaticFree products from JR Farm, which arrive in cardboard packaging and are very popular with rabbits and guinea pigs. Or do you already know our bee-friendly hay? This hay is only harvested after 15 June each year, which helps to ensure that insects can reproduce and find a rich supply of food. The advantage of this hay for our rodents is that it has a varied structure and therefore contains more nutrients.
