Why Your Rabbit Needs "Timothy Hay" for Digestion
If you ask a vet in Dhaka "What is the #1 cause of rabbit death?", they will likely say GI Stasis (the gut stops moving).
The cause? A diet lacking fiber.
Many owners rely solely on pellets because fresh rabbit grass BD (specifically Timothy Hay) can be harder to find or more expensive. But skipping hay is gambling with your pet's life.
1. The Digestive Engine
A rabbit's stomach is like a conveyor belt. It needs to be constantly moving.
-
Fiber's Role: Long strands of hay fiber act like a broom, sweeping hair and food through the gut. Without it, the "belt" stops, gas builds up, and the rabbit goes into shock.
2. The Dental Drill
Rabbit teeth never stop growing. They grow about 1cm every month!
-
Chewing Hay: The side-to-side chewing motion required to eat hay naturally grinds the teeth down.
-
Pellets Don't Work: Pellets crumble when bitten; they don't provide the grinding action needed. Without hay, teeth can grow into the jaw or eye, causing excruciating pain.
Where to Find Hay in BD?
Imported brands like SmartHeart Timothy Hay or Verse-Laga are available at Miki Pet Store. While local "Durba Ghash" is okay occasionally, it lacks the fiber structure of Timothy Hay.
Summary
Hay isn't "bedding"; it is food. Keep the hay rack full 24/7 to keep your bunny safe.
