Can rabbits eat Vetch hay?

[Jovynne Tan]

Hi guys,
A lady at the stockfeed shop gave us a free bag of vetch hay.
Can rabbits eat this? I've never heard of this before. I normally feed my buns oaten hay.

Thanks!!!! XXX

Sure. I would offer it additionally, in limited amounts, introducing slowly, I guess as legumes this is rather rich compared to grass hay.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply! I will give it to them sparingly.
I read online that it's got higher protein and calcium content compared to oaten hay. I will have to be careful.
Thanks!
