Long-lived, usually grows for 6 to 7 years and can live for 10 to 15 years under better management conditions. Because it is high in fiber and low in protein, timothy grass is ideal for use as a rabbit's main grass. The fiber in the grass helps speed up gastrointestinal motility, helps rabbits grind their teeth while eating, and prevents problems such as urinary tract stones and overweight.
