what sort of hay have I got?

[PepnFluff]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the type of hay I have, It was sold to me and called meadow hay, as Is all hay around here.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

looks like a grass mix to me.

it also looks like you have a bit of wheat in it.

Thanks Bo, the wheats not good is it?, isn't that carbohydrates? Should I pick them out?

A small amount of wheat is a good treat for your rabbit, but those might be grass seed heads.

Looks like grass head seeds to me. I don't think there is any thing wrong with them. My bunnies eat it all the time mixed in with their grass hay.

OH! Ok, makes sense, Pam! I had never really noticed cause I've not seen a lot of wheat close but it is very similar isn't it?

We don't get a lot of seed heads in our hay, but it's probably there - I just don't know LOL!

With them being on a grass hay mix and on hay only diets, are they ok? More specifically are they getting enough nutrients? Thanks everyone for you input.
