  Technically, they can live without hay for years, but it’s not good for them to go without for too long. The chewing hay helps wear down the teeth, it’s high fiber, helps keep their gut moving, etc. if you need to wait til pay day though, just make sure you give them food throughout the day to keep their digestive system active, veggies if you have it.

  Since your bunny has been having poopy butt, it’s doubly important that he has hay. You should always make sure that you have hay on hand.

  I know hay can be expensive at the pet store. Do you have any farms nearby where you could buy hay? You could try local classifieds or even a feed store. Any horse-Quality grass hay is good for bunnies and it can be bought MUCH cheaper than pet store hay. Some farms sell it for a few bucks a bale.
