Timothy is a wonderful hay for buns of any age but especially the adults. When bunnies are small alfalfa is ok because they need the calcium while they grow. As adults they don't need the calcium and, it escapes now (probably because you asked and I'm getting half-heimer's)but too much calcium for adults eventually leads to a health problem...either kidney or liver. I'd have to look it up. Just the fact that alfalfa was strongly discouraged by my rabbit specialist vet and that I've read the same thing in other publications is what sticks out in my mind. The vet even discouraged the alfalfa-based treats that are manufactured by pet food manufacturers. As Miz Sophie would say, and Karen our moderator would say...give 'em extra parsley...if you want to give them a treat.

I give my buns Oxbow timothy hay and because I have 5 buns, I buy a bale (50 lbs) and it last 2-3 months. My buns would not eat Kaytee's brand of timothy. The nice thing about Oxbow is that it is organically grown (no pesticides or chemicals) and I really like that reassurance. I know there are other companies out there selling timothy but I have no experience w/their products since my guys like the Oxbow brand. Oxbow does have a website...I think its oxbow.com, but I order mine from my bunny vet (and get out of paying the shipping charge that way). I understand there are 2 other hays that are good for bunnies, I don't recall the specifics but one was oat-based or an oat grass. I've been meaning to look into that too. Sorry I tend to rattle on....hope this answers your question.
