Full description

A caged small animal given nothing but a pile of loose hay will eat it, but it won't spend much time doing so, and a compressed bale that has to be pulled apart adds back some of the time and effort foraging naturally involves.

This mini bale is 92% timothy hay topped with 6% rosehips, with raffia and starch holding its shape. It carries a slightly different nutritional profile from the cornflower and marigold versions in the same range — fat at 1.7% and fibre at 28.1% — while serving the same foraging-enrichment purpose.

92% timothy hay, 6% rosehips
Fat 1.7%, fibre 28.1%, ash 5.8%
Protein figure of 10.4% given in the manufacturer's separate nutrition text
Encourages natural foraging behaviour
Sold as a 100G bale

On the missing protein field. The structured analysis the makers supplied for this product leaves out a protein figure, though Burgess's own nutrition text separately states 10.4% — we've used that figure here, but it's worth noting it didn't arrive in the same place as the fat, fibre and ash numbers on the same card.

Who it's for: owners of rabbits, guinea pigs or chinchillas wanting a foraging enrichment product with rosehip flavouring, alongside their pet's usual loose hay.

Burgess Excel Forage & Feast Mini Hay Bale Rosehip

Why we chose it

Rosehip is a genuinely different flavour note from the cornflower and marigold bales in the same range, useful if a pet has a preference between the three. It's the same foraging-focused format as the rest of the Forage & Feast line, just with a different topping.
