One hay for three rabbits of different ages

Hay should make up around 80% of every rabbit's diet regardless of age — it's the foundation of gut health and the thing that keeps their continuously-growing teeth worn down properly. Pellets are a small supplement, not the main event. With three rabbits at different life stages under one roof, the good news is that the core hay rule doesn't change much between them — but the details around pellets and quantity do. To give you the right steer: how old are each of your three rabbits, are they all in good health, and what are they currently eating day to day?

That's very achievable — and honestly a sensible goal. The main question with multiple ages is whether one hay covers the nutritional and dental needs across the board. Timothy hay is the answer here. It's lower in calcium than alfalfa, which is important because your adult and senior rabbit absolutely shouldn't have high-calcium hay long-term. Your 10-week-old would ideally have alfalfa for a few more weeks, but at this point you're close enough to the crossover that switching to Timothy now won't cause harm — just make sure the kit is eating plenty of it and getting enough calories. Your seven-year-old will also do well on Timothy; it's gentle on the gut and still provides the fibre and tooth wear they need. One thing — how are you currently separating feeding times or bowls? I want to make sure the pellet side of things doesn't accidentally get complicated.

In that case, go with Burgess Excel Timothy Hay. It's consistently good quality, dust-extracted which matters a lot for a senior rabbit's respiratory health, and it comes in a generous 1kg bag that's practical when you're buying for three. The long strand length is important — it encourages proper chewing motion and does the dental work you need across all ages. It's widely available on Amazon UK and the quality is reliable batch to batch, which is something you really notice when you're getting through volume. Buy the largest bag size you can store in an airtight container — hay degrades quickly once exposed to damp or light, and with three rabbits you'll go through it fast enough that freshness won't be an issue anyway.

At seven, hay is arguably more important than ever, not less — the gut slows slightly with age and fibre keeps everything moving. The main adjustment for seniors is to reduce pellets rather than increase them, and make sure fresh leafy greens are part of the daily routine. Things like romaine lettuce, fresh herbs, and dark leafy greens add hydration and nutrients without the calorie density of pellets. If your senior rabbit has had any dental checks recently, keep those up — tooth problems often show up first as reduced hay consumption, and it's easy to miss. But if they're eating well and the vet is happy, Timothy hay plus a small daily pellet portion and greens is a solid, complete approach for a healthy seven-year-old.

Good choice — one hay, three happy rabbits. If you ever notice any of them going off their hay or losing weight, especially the senior, that's the first thing to flag with a vet. Enjoy the simplified routine.
