With many of us working nine to five, shifts, weekend or night jobs, remembering your small pets hay can be a difficult task. Premium quality hay is the number one essential for small animals in order to keep their sensitive and complex bodies moving.
The high fibre (found in hay and forage) encourages correct gut movement and helps to wear down your small animal’s continuously growing teeth.

Why A Hay Subscription Might Suit You
Making sure you always have stock in the house is a must - but quite often so easily forgotten - we’ve all been there! This is where a hay subscription might be just what you need…
At HayDay, we understand the importance of a high fibre diet in rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small animals.
Did you know 80-90% of a small pet's diet should be hay and forage? It's that important! Which is why we created our Hay Box Subscription.
Our Hay Subscriptions Are Perfect If:
☑ You always forget to buy hay and have to rush out or make a last minute order
☑ You often have to make a special trip to a pet shop to get your hay which takes time and fuel
☑ You’re not happy with the hay that you currently purchase
☑ Your furry friend has gone munching mad and finished the hay quicker than you thought
☑ You love hay and want to make sure you are guaranteed some stock from your favourite brand (after all, hay is a natural and seasonal product with certain stock levels due to demand).
☑ You have enough to do without having to remember the hay too

Guaranteed Quality, Green Hay Each Time
It’s always important to know with any subscription exactly what you are subscribing to.
With a HayDay Hay Subscription, you have the flexibility to have your hay delivered directly from our Yorkshire farm straight to your door for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other hay-lovers everywhere!
We pride ourselves on the quality of the hay that we produce for small animals. Traditional farming techniques for making hay are heavily dependent on consecutive days of sun and dry British weather (hence the saying, “make hay whilst the sun shines”).
Whereas at HayDay we have invested in drying facilities, powered by green energy, that barn dries our hay - ensuring a premium quality hay that your small animals will love time and time again. Not only does this create perfectly barn dried hay, it maintains the correct and consistent level of nutrition, flavour and colour.
Did we mention that we’re also introducing more sustainable farming practices on our farm?
How Does A HayDay Subscription Work?
Step 1: Choose a Hay Box For Your Small Animal
Choose between our two 4.5kg hay boxes: Tasty Timothy and Moreish Meadow Hay.
If you’re unsure of which box your small animal will prefer, here’s a helpful guide on choosing the right hay box for your pet.
Step 2: Create Your Small Animal’s Flexible Forage Plan
Choose one of our flexible hay subscription plans by adding a 2, 4, 8 or 12 week subscription to your basket and checkout. Whilst saving fifteen percent on your subscription, each time!
You can subscribe to our products through our dedicated subscription page, or across all of our product pages.
Step 3: Wait For Hay Delivery Day!
You will then receive your HayDay Hay as frequently as you selected. All subscriptions are dispatched the same day, with next day delivery included.
You can share your small pet’s new hay obsession with us across on our social media channels.
The Benefits of A Hay Subscription

With our subscription and flexible delivery, we remember the food for your small pet so that you don't have to. Making your hay box subscription for your small pet easier than ever!
Easy-To-Manage
Managing your subscription is easy, simply manage your subscription through your account with us. We recommend that you create an account with us for you to be able to access your past orders and for you to be able to amend your subscription quicker.
Alternatively, on any previous communication emails that you’ve had from us, there will be the option to ‘Manage Your Subscriptions’ which will allow you easy access to change, amend or cancel your hay subscription with us.
But don't worry, we will always email you to remind you about any upcoming subscriptions and let you know that you are flexible to move, skip or cancel your subscription at any time. With no cancellation fee! You can always get in touch with a member of our team if you need any further assistance.
Cancel Anytime
Do we have to say any more!
We understand the catch with most subscriptions on having to incur a cancellation fee if you no longer use the product or service. But at HayDay, you have no obligation with our subscription. No catch, no hassle, no fee.
Simply guarantee the hay box, with a saving, for your small animal.
Premium Hay Direct to Your Door
The hay products available are often of such varying quality, it can be hard to know where to start when choosing - where was it grown (was it grown in the UK or is it imported hay?), if it is dust free (much harder to achieve when not barn dried), and what quality of nutrition is the hay itself. Always try and opt for barn dried premium hay if you can.
All of our subscriptions are shipped using DPD next day delivery ensuring you are never without your small animal’s hay. With notifications on where your order is and if you’re not going to be in you can rearrange the delivery or let the driver know a safe place to leave it!
