  It’s called botanical hay. It’s timothy with dried leaves and flowers. Boo seems to like. Put it in the pen, so Walter will get to try it later.
  
  It’s DoMor so only available at TS, but if they like it, worth the drive.

  Ooh sounds fancy 🤣. I’ll have to look into that for our next rabbit :D. By the way, I read about Walter’s neuter on the 11th! Hope all goes well. 🍀❤️

    Thanks, always makes me nervous.
    
    Even more so now as there has been a LOT of pet related medical issues in the past few years.

  You can find what they call botanical hay at different places. It’s usually a grass hay with some herbs or legumes mixed in. Most bunnies seem to like it.

  I found out something interesting recently that I think is an added benefit of the hay with some legumes or herbs mixed in (assuming they were grown in the same field and not mixed).
  
  Apparently when hay has some legumes in it (like clover, etc.), it’s an indicator that the hay wasn’t grown with a lot of herbicides, because the herbicides usually target “broad leaf” plants. Now, that doesn’t mean that just because your hay doesn’t have legumes etc. in it that it does have tons of herbicides on it.
  
  I was reading about how sometimes people have been accidentally killing their gardens by composting hay that was treated with a lot of herbicides and came across that info. I’ve composted hay for years, usually without any or many legumes in it and never had a problem though!
