Yes, hay is excellent for rabbits! Hay is a great way to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy (they keep growing, and need to be worn down by something!) and digestive system healthy (hay is high in fibre), and a great way to keep them entertained and occupied (rabbits like to graze). Rabbits should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay.
Fresh hay is greenish (some varieties more than others), sweet smelling, no mould or moisture, and low dust. Avoid hay that's been sitting on the shelf for months.
Good hay for adult rabbits is grass hays like timothy, brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, and oat grass -- although oat grass is a little high in sugars and shouldn't be offered too often. Legume hays, like alfalfa, are not good for healthy adults. Alfalfa is an excellent hay for young rabbits (under one year old), nursing rabbits, pregnant rabbits, and some rabbits who are underweight or have been very sick and need the extra protein and carbs.

What is molded hay?Do you mean moldy hay? No, rabbits can't eat hay that has mold on it. Mold is bad for rabbits, just like it's bad for people. Give your rabbit fresh hay that smells sweet, with no signs of mold or rot.Do you mean hay that has been pressed and shaped by a mold, like a hay cube? Yes, you can give this to your bunny. It's important that rabbits eat lots and lots of hay. Some rabbits don't like hay cubes. If your rabbit doesn't really eat his hay cubes, then you have to give loose hay instead, because you have to encourage as much hay eating as possible. If your rabbit does eat hay cubes, then you can give her as many as you want. Some people find using hay cubes instead of loose hay is better for their allergies.See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.
