πΏ High Fiber Content: Barley hay is rich in fiber, which is essential for a rabbit's digestive health. It helps maintain gut motility and prevents gastrointestinal stasis.
π Low in Protein: Compared to alfalfa hay, barley hay has lower protein levels, making it a good choice for adult rabbits that don't require high protein diets.
π° Lower in Calcium Than Legume Hays β Unlike alfalfa (which is high in calcium and protein), barley hay is safer for adult rabbits, reducing the risk of bladder sludge or stones.
π¦· Promotes Dental Health: Chewing on hay helps wear down rabbits' continuously growing teeth, reducing the risk of dental issues.
π₯ Variety in Diet: Introducing barley hay can add variety to a rabbit's diet, encouraging foraging behavior and keeping them mentally stimulated.
β Nutritional Balance: Barley hay provides essential nutrients while being lower in calories, helping to maintain a healthy weight.
π Natural Foraging Behavior: Offering different types of hay allows rabbits to engage in natural foraging, which is beneficial for their overall well-being.

_Important:
1. Gradual Introduction: Wheatgrass is a nutritious supplement, but like any new food, it should be introduced slowly to avoid digestive upset. Start with a small amount (a few blades) and monitor your rabbit for 24 hours.
2. Watch for Reactions: Some rabbits may have sensitive stomachs. If you notice soft stools, bloating, or lack of appetite, discontinue feeding and consult a veterinarian.
3. Not a Replacement: A healthy rabbit diet should be 80% hay, and you should never replace a rabbitβs primary diet of hay, fresh water, and balanced pellets. It is a treat or supplement, not a staple food.
4. Consult Your Vet: If your rabbit has pre-existing health conditions, check with a vet before adding new foods to their diet.
