Burgess Excel Fresh Forage Timothy Feeding Hay 1kg

Burgess Excel Fresh Forage Timothy Feeding Hay 1kg is a complementary food made from barn-dried timothy grass. It provides high-quality, long-fibre hay that supports the dental and digestive health of all fibrevores, the plant-eating small pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs. It is ideal for South African pet owners who want a consistent, natural forage that also encourages healthy foraging behaviour.

Harvested straight from the fields in England and then barn dried, Excel Forage is an excellent source of good-quality, long-fibre timothy hay. It is made from 100% natural ingredients and is a tasty, fibre-rich staple to offer daily alongside the rest of your pet's Burgess Excel diet.

Key Benefits

• High in beneficial fibre (55%): The long strands give fibrevores plenty to chew, which supports good dental health and healthy digestion.
• High in crude fibre (28.5%): This is a substantial fibre content that suits the high-fibre needs of herbivorous small animals.
• Good-quality, long-fibre timothy hay: Long-fibre forage keeps teeth working and the gut moving.
• Barn dried and dust extracted: The hay is processed to reduce dust and help prevent respiratory problems, which is a worthwhile consideration for pets kept indoors.
• 100% natural ingredients: It is simply barn-dried grass grown in England.
• Environmental enrichment: Foraging through hay helps prevent boredom and promotes positive, natural foraging behaviours.
