Yes you can. It is not a required thing as it is for rabbits but it won't hurt. The hay is supposed to help their digestive tract

I guess you could, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. I mean, yeah, it's cheaper and more convenient... but your rabbit may mix up the hay used for bedding and the hay used for food. And do you really want your rabbit eating it's own urine a feces? That's just nasty in my opinion. Also, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's not the healthiest thing for your rabbit.

A medium to large size rabbit should go through about a quarter of a bag each week. Rabbits need limited fruits, veggies, and pellets, but like guinea pigs, they should have an unlimited amount of hay. Every time you see it's hay rack/food bowl empty, you should fill it right away. Rabbits' teeth never stop growing, so they need to chew on stuff constantly. And if they aren't playing, they're eating. Hay is the hardest to chew and the healthiest choice, so that is why the amount of hay in their bowls should be unlimited. (Don't worry, hay will not make rabbits obese. But too many fruits, veggies, and pellets can...)

I hope this helps!

No. Separate the bedding and the food as much as possible. Rabbit does his/her business in the bedding. Hay should be clean for eating. Rabbits' stomach has two chambers and is very delicate. Must be careful about what to eat. Do research. Get House Rabbit Handbook. For online information see House Rabbit Society and Dana Kremels

Rabbits are great because you don't necessarily need to fill the bottom of their cage with bedding. You should buy a litterbox for the bunny and fill the bottom with an absorbent bedding (carefresh or the petco brand paper PELLETS) and layer a bit of timothy hay on top of the bedding (recommended by my vet). Cleaning her habitat is much easier this way because every other day I only need to replace the bedding in her tiny little litterbox rather than clean the whole cage! In the beginning, the bunny may have accidents outside her litterbox, but my rabbit got accustomed to using her litterbox very soon. My rabbit is approx 3 pounds and 9 months old and the smallest hay bag will last her about a month. Hope this helps =)

Yes, because it's just dry grass. But why not just let your goats graze on fresh grass? Dry grass may not be as good for them.

answer 2
No clue! But based on what I've read, Timothy Hay has less nutrition than alfalfa hay. This is what you want for a rabbit or a guinea pig that needs the hay to aid their digestion process, not nutrition. So, I suspect that it would not hurt a goat, but if a goat ate a lot of it instead of other stuff, it might starve from lack of proper nutrition. Please find a book about goats (I don't see any on Petco's site), go to a feed store and ask questions, or look for an authoratative source on the internet. It's important to feed your animals the corrrect food for them! By the way, Petco has one alfalfa hay on their site; search for "alfalfa" or the number 560839.

I think this would be perfect for a goat, but....this size bag, even though it's big won't last long. You'd need to get a BALE of it!!!

Repeat delivery is an excellent way to save time and money. Once you know how often your animal needs the item (for example, my senior dog requires a special diet. I know she eats one can per day.) you can schedule the automated delivery so you never run out of that item. You don't have to remember to go get or to reorder. And as you can order in quantity there is usually a better price. My buddy in dog rescue swears by this service!

Question

I have several horses. Do you have an alfalfa pellet? Or would the timothy hay work as a treat.

He does not like the usual treats(peppermint, apple, carrot) I want to find a treat to take him when I visit him. Thanks

I think Timothy hay would work. Have you tried sugar cubes? Horses like sugar cubes. Timothy Hay is just dry alfafa grass. And it's kind of like hay. If you give your horse hay, feel free to give him Timothy Hay.
