awww he’s so cute!  what a lucky bun to have his own garden

i wish i knew spanish… it’s a beatiful language.  hope someone else can help out with this!

It’s a different variety from alfalfa but I don’t know either how it would be translated in Spanish!!! Help someone!

Timothy is a grass hay if that helps and any grass hay is fine like Orchard or Brome or Meadow Hay.

OK, here goes.

I don’t speak a word of Spanish (took French in High School and barely passed ) but I speak Google fluently. I just did a search on the House Rabbit Society website and they had an article that appears to be about diet and hay. (First looked up Hay in Spanish/English dictionary and got Heno.) I saw the paragraph below so copied it here. No idea what it all says, but spotted timothy grass in parentheses and bebitos and alfalfa, so thought it was what you needed. I inserted the link so you could read it and also the other articles they have in Spanish. My impression is that they have translated all the basic care. Hope this helps!

heno de fleo (timothy grass)

Heno

El artículo mas importante de la dieta del conejo es heno de pasto, y debe ser servido en cantidades ilimitadas ya sean adultos o bebitos. Esto es porque el conejo que come solamente comida tipo perdigón no recibe fibras en cantidades suficientes para mantener los intestinos trabajando correctamente. Las fibras largas del heno empujas las cosas a lo largo de los intestinos y mantienen los músculos intestinales en condiciones óptimas. Esto evita la formación de bolas de pelos — ¡que en actualidad es un síntoma de fallo intestinal! Esto es extremadamente común en conejos mal alimentados y es fatal si no se trata.

Heno de alfalfa, aunque sabroso, contiene demasiada proteína y calcio para la dieta del conejo. Al contrario, use heno de fleo (timothy grass), avena, de la costa (coastal), o una mezcla de fleo/alfalfa.

P.S. I am crazy about your avatar!

I couldn’t find a direct translation of fleo either, though it seems to be used in conjunction with timothy or alfalfa hay, so I think it’s just a form of the Spanish name for different types of hay/grasses.

Maybe you could order some? I checked out Oxbow, and they didn’t have an international site in Argentina or even South America, but they said if you have any questions to contact international sales:
international@oxbowanimalhealth.com.

Not turning up any other sources. I’m stumped!

(Bailey has the best bunny butt ever!)

Si senorita! I had six years of Spanish in college and helped my niece through hers as well, although I had a stint of Russian and Swedish after that and sometimes get mixed up.  Timothy hay may be called one thing for our local mexicanos but for our South American friends, I am not sure exactly what you would call it or if you even have it.

Babelfish is an awesome translator for any language: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Do they give the nutritional info on hay packages like they do here in the US for the plastic bags of hay that are sold in the pet stores?  Oxbow, Kaytee and others list protein, fat, fiber, etc…  If they list that on the package- compare those for something similiar to Timothy Hay.

I wonder if there are different kinds of hay over there?  other types due to different climate and different native grass species???

If you don’t have Timothy, I wonder if you have other options like orchard and oat. Hmmmm. So what kind of hay is available there to you?

***Maybe you spanish-speaking people can help me!!

I’m going to Cuba soon (will start a yippee thread soon) but I’d like to know how to write

“This is for you, my friend” or something along those lines. I’d like to bring gifts for house-keeping again, but last time we had to write in english and at first she didn’t know to take it. Could anyone help me to write that out? Thanks!!

Gracias!!

oo I’m so glad everyone was able to help figure that out! let us know if you’re able to find it ok?

My dissertation brain is still problematic…but I thought they speak Portuguese in Argentina?  Not that your lying about speaking spanish and not portuguese…after all you would know what language you speak.

Me gusta tu conejo.  Es muy guapo.  Me gusta el foto de cuello.  However I believe that cuello is an Italian bad word for butt!  I took Spanish in Elementary school and Italian in HS.  Most of the latino students took Italian instead of Spanish so we frequently spoke “Spitalian” a blend of Spanish & Italian, depending on what words we remembered in what language.  As you can see I still speak it to this day

Bunnycraze, your English is excellent!

Bunnycraze,
Your English is so good that I was thinking that you must be an English speaking person who had moved to Argentina and used Spanish as her second language, not the other way around. It’s Excellent!

By the way, Got hay?

Can’t help with the spanish but have to add that your bun is definetly worthy of showing off. And yes he has a very nice bum!!!

I agree w/ everyone else your English is great!  Many people that speak a secondary language tend to have difficulties writing that language, but you did a muy bueno job.  I thought the same thing that you were a native english speaker that relocated to Argentina…that’s kinda funny that we all had similar thoughts.  I think your S. American perspectives and views will be a great addition.  I don’t think I’d seen any fellow S. Americans on this site b/f.  I LOVE that binkybunny is so international!

You are very welcome Bunnycraze!  I was hoping that might help.  

Yup I’ll ditto that, definitely seems like English is your first language!!
