Lots of Timothy hay! That is their main staple. Veggies like squash, bell peppers, kale, collards, etc. They need lots of calcium so eating the natural plants in dry environments (such as Arizona, New Mexico) is good for them and it makes them happy to be able to graze! Fruits as a treat only. Something like a banana or apple once every other week.
