are hay pellets a replacement for loose hay?

[jude]

I have a question, as hay is a mess in an inside house i've bought my rabbit some timothy-hay pellets and he likes them, but is it a total replacement of loose hay? or not eating loose hay will effect him ?
*i will give him loose hay once in a while for sure

Thank you in advance.

Hay should be 70-80% of a rabbits diet so you can give him some pellets but he must have hay! I would give him both... Unlimited hay and maybe like 1/3 or 1/2 of pellets a day

Rabbits really need the long strand fiber of loose hay, they don't really get that in a compacted hay pellet.

How are you offering the hay to your rabbits. It really shouldn't be that messy.
