Is it safe to dry grass from my backyard to make hay for my pet?

Question

Can you dry grass from your backyard to make hay? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 1.5 lbs

Technically yes you can but you would have to let the grass grow longer that unusual and then cut it by hand as a lawn mower mushes the grass up too much which can cause issues in the gut. After cut by hand you need to leave the grass lying out for a few days to dry in the sun and it will be necessary to turn it a few times. It could certainly be done but would take a lot of effort.
