Grow your own grass
October 10th, 2006 by Belinda
Planet Guinea sell Timothy grass seed and Timothy grass and herb seed mixes for you to grow your own piggy patch. Good for rabbits too. Timothy grass is excellent for cutting and feeding to your rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas. When it is established, it can be used for grazing. If you cut your initial Timothy grass crop in a patch roughly the size of your rabbit or guinea pig run, the cropped area will provide excellent grazing for your rabbits or guinea pigs.
All Planet Guinea’s seeds come with a complete set of instructions about how to prepare the soil, plant the seeds and care for your piggy paddock.
If you can leave it alone long enough, you will be able to cut and dry it to make your own Timothy hay. Instructions for making hay are on our hay site. You can also buy Timothy hay in small quantities from Planet Guinea’s shop if you can’t wait to grow, harvest and dry your own!
Planet Guinea sell cereal grass seeds for you to grow your own wheatgrass, oat grass or barley grass. Cereal grasses can be grown in the garden, in pots, in window boxes or in special sprouting machines such as the EasyGreen machine.

Cereal grasses are harvested when the shoots are at their most nutritious. Wheat grass, barley grass, kamut grass (the wheat grass used for juicing) and oat grass are high quality foods for rabbits and guinea pigs. Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals.
In addition, rabbits and guinea pigs in the wild would take in most of their moisture through the food that they eat. The natural moisture content of cereal grasses and the fact that they are a ‘live food’ naturally rich in enzymes which aid digestion, make them an ideal food for all rabbits and guinea pigs but particularly valuable for feeding to those with, or recovering from, dental problems.
