A mini-bale of Timothy Hay. Fresh hay is important for these reasons:

Provides necessary long fiber that your rabbit needs for healthy digestion.
Wears down teeth. Rabbits front teeth grow on average one-half inch each month. Most pellet feeds don't do enough and your otherwise gentle pet may begin chewing on it's cage and anything else it can find.
Many pellet feeds are nutrient rich. If not balanced with hay, these feeds may cause your rabbit to be overweight and lethargic. Dark, soft stool or dark colored and very strong smelling urine can be a sign that your rabbit needs more hay.
Reduces waste odor and helps to keep the cage cleaner.

In addition to these benefits, hay is less expensive than pelletized feeds.

Mini-Bale of Timothy Hay

0.6 cu ft of compressed hay (average weight 4 lbs). An unlimited amount of fresh hay should be made available to your rabbit at all times. Each bale will feed an average rabbit for 2 - 3 months.

More fun facts about hay.

Many rabbits will use some of their hay to nest. Lining the floor of their cage makes it more comfortable than the typical wire bottom hutch and adds insulation in colder weather. Some rabbits are seemingly very particular in arranging the hay when put in their cage. This is the equivlent of arranging the furniture and they'll fuss with it until it's just the way they want it.

An expectant doe will build a nest of hay and line it with fur in preparation for kindling (delivering her babies). This often happens just a day or two before kindling.

Another unusual behavior is the "hay dance." Adolescent rabbits, particularly does, will gather bundles of hay in their mouth and prance about bobbing their head up and down. This signals their desire to nest, or more exactly, to breed. This is usually seen as a young rabbit reaches sexual maturity and sometimes while preparing the nest before kindling.
