  Here where I live I can’t find good quality hay, I can only get hay for horses and is filled with dust and little bugs, totaly inappropriate. So I decided to grow my own grass and let them eat directly from the soil. I’m planning to plant oat grass but I only have one doubt, can rabbits eat oat grass for the rest of their lives or it’ll cause problems?

  You could sow other types of grass too perhaps? Oat hay is ok though. Most often timothy is recommended for buns but many people are allergic to timothy so their buns have to eat oat hay or orchard or some other type of hay/grass. The nutritional value depends to an extent on the soil the hay grows in. Rich soil gives you a hay with more protein. Micronutrients like minerals also depend on the soil. And the time when you harvest it also influences these things. Here’s some info on nutritional value of different hays: http://bunniesinneed.net/hay-nutritional-value-chart/
  
  I’m planning to sow wheat and oats for my buns this year and feed them the grass as a treat.

  I’ll probably make a oat grass “rug” for them and grow other kinds of hay to see which ones they like the best

  Bunnies very often do have a firm opinion on what hay they like best =) Some types they won’t touch and some they just wolf down and as a human, you never understand the difference =).
