Ultra Premium Alfalfa Hay

Yes, in small amounts as an occasional treat.

Alfalfa is higher in protein and calcium than grass hay, so it isn't meant to be a free-choice food for healthy adults. Feeding too much can raise the risk of obesity, digestive upset, and bladder stones.

For everyday feeding, grass hay like Timothy or Orchard should make up the bulk of an adult's diet, with alfalfa reserved for a small treat portion a few times a week.

Feeding amount depends on age. Kits get mother's milk until 3 weeks, then nibbles of alfalfa hay and pellets from 3–4 weeks, then unlimited alfalfa hay and pellets from about 4 weeks through 7 months.

For rabbits older than 7 months, guinea pigs older than 6 months, and chinchillas older than 1 year, limit alfalfa to a small treat portion a few times a week and switch to free-choice grass hay (Timothy or Orchard) as the everyday base.

Pregnant or nursing does can continue free-choice alfalfa for the extra protein and calcium.

Mix the new hay with the old hay over 7–14 days so the change is gradual.

Watch appetite and droppings during the switch. If your pet stops eating or stool looks unusual, slow the transition and contact your vet.

Store hay in a cool, dry place with good airflow—a breathable bag or bin works well.

Avoid sealing hay in plastic long-term; trapped moisture can lead to mold. If hay smells musty, feels damp, or looks unusually dusty or discolored, discard it and open a fresh bag.

Commercial hay from a trusted producer is very low risk for RHDV2, and we monitor official reporting for the regions where we source and pack hay.

We source in Northern California, where there have been no reported RHDV2 cases in our sourcing and warehouse areas to date. Current inventory is from the 2025–2026 growing season in that region. USDA guidance suggests dried virus may remain stable about three months; we follow harvest timing, storage, and handling with that in mind.

For symptoms, vaccines, maps, and what we watch ongoing, see our RHDV2 information hub and the RHDV2 section of our FAQ.

Around 7 months for rabbits, 6 months for guinea pigs, and 1 year for chinchillas.

Mix the new grass hay (Timothy or Orchard) in with alfalfa over 7–14 days, gradually increasing the grass hay ratio until it's the primary hay. Keep a small amount of alfalfa on hand afterward as an occasional treat.
