Hay for mice might not be a dietary essential, but it’s a brilliant way to enrich their environment. Mice love to burrow, shred and build nests, and soft, fresh hay gives them the perfect material to do it. It also provides safe chewing for light dental wear and keeps them busy throughout the day.
Hay for mice is all about enrichment. It keeps them active, gives them nesting material and offers safe chewing opportunities.
The best hay for mice is soft, clean and easy to work with. Meadow Hay is ideal for nesting thanks to its fluffy texture, while Timothy Hay offers a slightly coarser option that’s good for chewing.
Mixing different types of hay can encourage natural behaviours like tunnelling and foraging while keeping their enclosure interesting. All of our hay for mice is hand-packed to ensure it stays fresh and safe to use.
