Digestive & Hairball Care
Developed for Picky Rabbits & Guinea Pigs That Don’t Eat Enough Hay
Daily Digestive & Hairball Care That Helps Bring the Diet Back to Hay
Our Gastrointestinal & Hairball Care Hay Powder is one of Bubble & Pea’s most popular daily formulas for rabbits and guinea pigs.
Made with Orchard Grass and Timothy Hay as the main ingredients, this formula has a mild, natural flavor that is intentionally different from strongly flavored pellets, treats and sweet snacks.
For rabbits that have become accustomed to highly palatable foods, a milder hay-based diet can help gradually reduce food selectivity and encourage greater interest in long-strand hay.
Many customers have reported that after adding this formula to their daily feeding routine—or using it in place of pellets—their rabbits began eating more hay and showed better overall appetite.
With 27–29% crude fiber, the formula also provides a fiber-rich base to support normal digestive function and regular gut movement.
For Shedding Season, When Bunnies Are Molting
It is especially suitable during molting periods, when rabbits naturally swallow more loose fur while grooming.
Helping Swallowed Fur Move Through Normally
Maintaining good hay intake, hydration, and normal digestive movement is especially important during shedding season.
The powder can be mixed with water into a soft hay-based puree, adding both hay-based nutrition and extra hydration to the daily routine.
This formula is designed to complement a diet centered around unlimited long-strand hay and fresh water.

Our process
Low-Temperature Processing & Fine Milling
By breaking down large plant molecules into smaller ones, our hay powders become easier for pets to absorb — allowing nutrients to be replenished quickly and efficiently.
Ultra-fine powder texture: fast absorption, better results
Bubble & Pea Ultra-Fine Hay Powder
Smooth, finely milled texture — easy to prepare as hay puree, mix into daily meals, or use for syringe feeding.
Commercial hay powder
Coarser, more granular texture — may be harder to mix evenly and more likely to clog narrow syringes.
Compressed pellets
Firm texture — may be harder for older pets or those with reduced chewing ability. Soaking is needed to soften them.
Extruded feed
Softer texture, but often more processed and may contain added colors, flavors, or other additives.

Frequently asked
Common Questions from Rabbit & Guinea Pig Parents
Q Can this hay powder help my rabbit eat more hay?
It may help encourage better hay-eating habits, especially in rabbits that have become used to strongly flavored pellets, treats, or sweet foods.
This formula has a mild, natural, hay-based taste, so it does not keep reinforcing a preference for richer or sweeter foods.
Many Bubble & Pea customers have reported that their rabbits gradually began eating more long-strand hay after adding this formula to their daily routine or using hay powder in place of pellets.
Q Can this formula help with picky eating?
It is designed to support a more natural, hay-centered feeding routine.
Because the flavor is relatively mild compared with many pellets and treats, it can be especially helpful for rabbits that have become overly selective with food.
The goal is not to make food increasingly flavorful, but to help rabbits become more accustomed to the natural taste of hay and other plant-based ingredients.
Q Can Gastrointestinal & Hairball Care Hay Powder support appetite?
Many customers have reported greater interest in food and hay after using this formula regularly.
Its natural fruit and vegetable aroma helps make it appealing, while the overall flavor remains mild enough to avoid reinforcing a preference for strongly flavored foods.
Reduced appetite in rabbits can also be a sign of illness. If your rabbit suddenly eats less, stops eating, or produces fewer droppings, contact a rabbit-experienced veterinarian promptly.
Q How does the fiber in this formula support digestion?
The formula contains approximately 27–29% crude fiber, with Orchard Grass and Timothy Hay as the main ingredients.
Fiber is an essential part of a rabbit’s or guinea pig’s diet and helps support normal gastrointestinal movement and regular stool production.
Long-strand hay should still be available at all times because it provides the physical fiber structure and prolonged chewing that powdered hay cannot fully replace.
Q Is this formula suitable during shedding or molting season?
Yes. Rabbits naturally swallow more loose fur while grooming, especially during heavy molts.
Maintaining good hay intake, hydration, and normal gut movement can help support the normal passage of swallowed fur through the digestive tract.
This formula is commonly used as part of the daily feeding routine during shedding season.
Q Does this product dissolve hairballs?
No. It does not dissolve hair or treat gastrointestinal blockages.
Its role is to support a hay-based, fiber-rich, well-hydrated daily feeding routine so swallowed fur can move through the digestive tract normally.
Q Why is the flavor intentionally mild?
Rabbits can develop strong preferences for highly palatable pellets, treats, and sweet foods.
A mild, hay-based formula helps avoid continually increasing flavor intensity and can make it easier to transition the overall diet back toward hay.
Q Can guinea pigs eat this formula?
Yes. It is suitable for guinea pigs as a daily supplementary food, providing additional hay-based fiber and hydration alongside unlimited long-strand hay and fresh water.
Q Can this hay powder replace pellets?
For owners transitioning toward a more hay-centered feeding routine, this formula can be used as an alternative supplementary food in place of conventional pellets, depending on the animal’s overall diet and nutritional needs.
Unlimited long-strand hay and fresh water should always remain the foundation of the diet.
Q Can it replace long-strand hay?
No.
Hay powder can provide additional fiber and plant-based nutrition, but it cannot fully replace the prolonged chewing and physical fiber structure provided by long-strand hay.
Rabbits and guinea pigs should continue to have unlimited access to long-strand hay.
