Belgian Nature hay
August 2024 cut
Cut augstus 2024. Since 2024 was a heavy rain year, it is totally different in structure from the 2023 cut. Grasses and herbs are still present but in a different structure. Partly due to the heavy rain and the late time of mowing.
This hay is first cut and has been dried naturally ( in the field ).
We have our permanent grassland in Belgium. Of course, every year is different, taking into account the weather conditions. That is why there is always a wide variety of hay. Which ensures a natural and healthy variety.
The hay is stored naturally at Happy Rabbits and Friends, which keeps it fresh and tasty.
We only pack the hay as soon as you order it.
Our Belgian Natural hay can be eaten by rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, degus, tortoises, horses...
- Plastic bag: If you have ordered our hay in a plastic bag, we recommend you keep it out of the plastic packaging elsewhere or leave the bag wide open.
- Jute sack: If you have ordered our hay in a jute sack, you can keep it in the jute sack. Ps. Are you collecting the hay yourself? Then you can always leave the empty jute bags back. We reuse them for other purposes so there is certainly no waste. Of course, you can also keep the jute bag yourself :-)
- Box: If you have ordered our hay in a box, you can keep it in the box. Although we recommend leaving the box open.
- Bale: If you order a bale of hay from us, it can arrive in 2 ways.
1. Will your bale be dispatched? Then you will receive it in a cardboard box. You can leave the hay in the box, but please leave the box open.
2. Have you opted for collection? Then we will give you the bale in a big bag to protect your car.
We think of the environment and would like to ask you, when collecting a new bale, to return the bag if necessary so that we can reuse it.
You can keep the bale in the bag, please leave the bag open.
Preferably store our hay in a dark place in an environment with constant temperature. = Not at the heater, not in the basement.
Our hay can also be stored outside, on condition that the sun and moisture cannot reach it.
Please NEVER store hay in a plastic container, as this will cause the hay to suffocate which will lower its quality enormously.
It can be stored in a carton box or an open container.
We sell different types of hay. From years of experience, we are very strong on hay selection.
Hay remains a natural product. This means that every year is different, even though it may come from the same grassland.
We find it very important that you yourself ensure a good variety. So that your darling has a nice variety, which also stimulates eating hay.
We offer a wide range of hay in our assortment so you can have a good variety.

Hay being grass remains a natural product, so it can always vary in colour, smell, structure and taste. Always check your hay yourself when you feed it. It remains a natural product that grows outdoors. As a result, it can always happen that despite inspection there is something in it that does not belong.
